Many Shades of Gray

My Mom and I took a day trip up to Corvallis on Friday and visited Friendship Crossing.

 As you can see I came home with lots of treasures.  


Smaller pieces of fabric in 28, 30 and 32 count including Lambswool, Lilac, Light Chino, Star Sapphire, and Black.  Some JABC buttons, GAST's newest colors, and 3 small frames. 

I've become a fan of the Hands on Design, so was pleased to find several new charts.  Maybe I can work in one small Plum Street patriotic stitch before this month ends.


I tend to belittle all the Basic Brown Birds that I see, but I've notice that I have far more birds in shades of gray.

Back-capped Chickadee

California Quail

Band-tailed Pigeons
