on the road again................







Stitch enjoyed the FREE breakfast at the Hampton Inn this morning and was ready to go after brushing his teeth.




Before getting into the truck, Stitch decided to play in the snow, and also had to be reminded "not to eat the yellow snow"!! Mischievous little alien.................




We are in Pennsylvania and heading to Boston, we should arrive there this evening. you know when you leave for a trip, you think " did I forget something"? Well , we didn't think that until we got to the hotel last night and realized we left our "important" suitcase at home............no meds (and at our age it is mostly meds!), no toiletries, nothing!!! So...........after me whining ALOT, we got some toiletries from the hotel clerk and went to Walgreens this morning to get some things to tide us over til Jessie can overnight the bag to us. Other than that our trip is going well and we are looking forward to seeing Dad tonight.




got to go..............take care,




Margaret, Kenny and Stitch (Stitch wants to know "are we there yet?")

THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF STITCH




Well Stitch has made it to Youngstown, Ohio and is dog tired from all the driving he did to get there.




He paid for his hotel room and is all tucked in for the night.




Tomorrow,


The adventure continues..............................................

ongoing adventures of "stitch"











Made it to Indiana and stopped for fuel. Stitch got one look at the gas prices and fainted dead away. After being revived he just had to have some M&M's to calm his nerves, then off to Wendy's for a Bacon Burger.








Lunch over Stitch heads east toward his final destination..........Boston.








Who knows what Stitch will find on his way....................................

on the road with a stow-a-way!!!




Goodmorning!!


just a quick update.........Kenny and i are heading to Boston to visit my Dad, Sister, Brother and their families for a week. Our first stop is usually at Krispy Kreme donuts in St Louis and we found "Stitch" had stowed away in our Suburban!! (he MUST have snuck into the Suburban, because Holly and I "wouldn't have forgot him in the truck".)He enjoyed his trip to Nashville with Holly and me so much - he wanted to go on another road trip. So I will be updating the blog with all of Stitch's adventures on his roadtrip with us!! I hope to get some stitching done on my trip. We'll see how much stitching time I get!!
Got to go.......my turn to drive!!
take care,
Margaret, Kenny and our traveling companion Stitch

nashville update










































































































We have had our breakfast and are getting ready to shop!!!!! We saw this Little House Designs Masterpiece that had been stitched on a piece of fabric the size of a shower curtain!!! it is absolutely stunning!!! Just imagine the thought and work that was involved in creating it!!


Little House and impie, Hattie and Bea have done it again!!! They have created "Fresh from the Garden" a needlebook and pincushion set with an additional sampler to stitch and frame!!! The colors are a really nice deep green on the outside of the needlebook and gold on the inside. Crescent Colors threads are also included in the kit.

I am just going to add as many pictures as I can.............if you have any questions Jessis, Pam and Cindy are at the shop..............you can call or email them to reserve your goodies!!!

take care,
Margaret, Holly and Stitch

on the road to nashville.............
























































Hi Everyone,




Holly and I are in Nashville at the TNNA needlework show. We have had a fun day so far......left Branson at 6 a.m. Holly brought along a "friend" named Stitch to travel along with us. As we drove to Nashville Stitch enjoyed a snack and the view. We stopped at Hancocks Fabrics in Paducah, KY to shop for fabric. Stitch enjoyed himself as he rode through the store. Then we ate at 5 Guys Burgers - the BEST fries!!!!
And finally we arrived at the hotel!!
We saw some absolutely beautiful stitched samplers,ornaments,limited edition kits and hardanger pieces this evening at the "meet and greet". I will be posting more pictures tomorrow morning. But for now we are going to sleep..........have a good night!!!
take care,
Margaret, Holly and Stitch
