During the past few weeks I have won 2 blog giveaways. I seem to be on a roll. I was very excited to win
Nat's giveaway of a beautiful sashiko bag and a gorgeous book on kimonos. And then I won a lovely stitchery from
Emmy's blog. I haven't received the stitchery yet but I am so excited to be able to have one of Emmy's pieces. She does such beautiful work.

I've been working away on the embroidery cloth with all the new techniques I'm learning in
Karen Ruane's class. Here are just a few photos of the last few things I've stitched.
