Woodrow Wilson’s Birthplace…

…progress!
I spent much of the last couple days stitching on Wilson’s Birthplace. I have the house nearly complete, including backstitches! Here are some pics:

This is where I left off in May

And this is where it stands as of last night!










Going to try to get back on the Crazy rotation. I am also going to put some time in on the Coming Home for the Holidays SAL with Lana over the weekend. In addition to all of this, I am still looking for a full time job (and I absolutely hate trying to write a resume) and spending the weekend helping my sister move. I may wind up staying with her most of the weekend.




Oh, and here is a picture of my baby, Abu, trying to assist me in my stitching efforts:

And, I changed my Blog Title to "A Stitch in Time with Jules". 

Until next time…

Woodrows House is looking lovely, you are quite the builder!! LOL...it's Saturday morning here, and as soon as I finish up with blog reading and get the baby fed, I am hoping to sit down and get to work on Coming Home!! You're probably gonna blast me outta the water with your uber-fast stitching! But it'll still be lotsa fun to know that somewhere out there on the other side of the planet someone is putting in stitches on the same project that I am!! Happy stitching! Oh! I like your new blog name!

Ooops, you know what I just realized? It's not the weekend yet! My husband is home from work for the long holiday weekend, so it feels like Saturday to me,plus I'm a day ahead of you...it's only Thurs. there, it's Friday here, and my brain told me it was Saturday,because the hubs is here! Haha! I actually didn't stitch on the SAL yet though, so will wait now, another day! =) Sorry about that!

Hi, I just love your historical pieces. Can you tell me who the designers are and where I might find the charts.

Thanks, Linda

It's My Turn!!!

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

Image
 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
