Granny and Paw and Anniversaries of the Heart

I have really loved stitching Blackbird's Anniversaries of the Heart!!! It is such a fun piece. I am still waiting on the Evergreen Lane chart, I've been haunting my LNS :-). My DH has been traveling a lot so I took advantage of not needing to cook to stitch, LOL.

This is a closeup of Moonlight Visitor, I love it because it reminds me of Colorado where I live. Every May we have a huge Miller moth migration and there are pine trees everywhere. I still haven't decided how I want to personalize this particular block. I think I know but I want to wait to see the December chart as well as the last bonus design.

I had no trouble deciding who I wanted to remember when I stitched Pumpkin Farm. My DH's Granny, Annette, was born in October and she married Paw in October which made this block perfect for honoring her and Paw. She was a young widow with three small daughters, including my MIL, when she married Frank McLellan. They went on to have a fourth daughter and have been married 65 years in October. My DH's grandparents are wonderful, they are both fiesty, funny and artistic and a joy to their family and friends.

I think that I am going to get the Primitive Needle's A&E out and finish it and by then hopefully I will have the next AotH chart in my hot little hands, LOL. I hope everyone is finding lots of time to stitch and you are all happy and healthy :-). Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my blog.
