The Monday Reminder, if You Plan to Stitch Along in 2015-The PPPP

This is Pear II, for February, I think I will call the little center motif a Cornflower. You could change the color to suit your taste easily. Marly readily admits that she switches colors around all the time.

So here we are, another Monday closer to the Perfectly Precious Pear Project for 2015. I am mostly an optimistic sort. At least 10 years ago when a Needlework department of a local store closed down I was 'Johnny- on-the-spot' with my loose change and plans to buy at least one of everything so that I would be prepared when the stitch bug bit. 

time to replace the gourds with greenery and berries

I did get some nice Aida fabric, some good threads and an extra hoop. I was sure I had 28 count linen in that drawer. (I even brought home the storage units from that department to keep my goodies!) Alas dear stitchers, if I had that linen I either gave it away or tucked in a safe place that I do not remember. I riffled through all eight drawers ( I brought home 4 of the storage units for my stuff and another 4 for garage storage. Yes, I had a pick-up truck!) NO luck. 

A little sun on a otherwise dreary day.

So that leads me to preparedness. Not MRE's in case of flood or nuclear disaster, not antibiotics and vaccines in case of long-term confinement, no, linen. 28 count to be exact to coincide with the project. You just never know when you might need lots of linen. Make no mistake here, I have not abandoned quilting in any way, shape or form but I need to doodle away on some other projects, do you ever feel that way?
