Yipee! September! I absolutely love September. It's my favorite month in the whole year. Actually, I really love September through December. So many things to look forward to and all the hot, humid, sticky air gone. Time to get out the stitching and quilting and get to creating!
Here is this month's block. Life really is about creating yourself. I truly believe you can be anything you want to be and create the life you want to have. Just believe in yourself and surround yourself with people that believe in you. Hop over to
My Shop and get your pattern. Oh, I'm also carrying the Fusible Fleece again. I had several people ask about it. I sell it in 36" x 45" pieces. That's enough to do a bunch of stitchery projects!
The floss I used this month is
Valdani's P3, Aged White Medium. I also used it in another project that I hope to show you this weekend. (I'm praying that Hurricane Earl decides to swerve back out to sea and miss us).
I decided since so many of you commented on my Tea at 3 with Mr. Biscotti Bunny, that this month I would give away a box of my favorite Stash fushion tea, a box of my favorite biscotti's and a wonderful book on cute cottages! How's that for a fun giveaway! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment. Remember, if you are signed up as a Friend/Follower, (sign up on my sidebar) your name goes in the hat twice! I will pick the winner on September 8th.
Also, one final request. Please let me know if you have enjoyed this Sentimental Journey so far and if you are interested in another FREE BOM stitchery project for next year. I have a great idea, but I don't want to spend the time designing and stitching it if you've already got too much on your plate. So let me know. Thanks!

Seriously LOVE your designs! Thanks you for posting them free to us - each month is more beautiful and inspiring than the last. I check the 1st of each month to begin stitching a new one. Can't wait to get them all done and put together.
Thanks SO much for all you do and would LOVE another BOM for next year as well!

Well, YES i want another project next year!!! (silly shell) :) I feel another burst of stitching coming on, so i'll be here a lot more. I've been in my crochet/sewing phase. :)
I would like another project next year too!
I am making your BOM right now and I plan on using these sayings in a quilt I'm going to make for my Sister.(She loves Sayings) I have to admit that I'm a bit behind, didn't do a lot of sewing this summer.
What a Yummy giveaway!
I love trying different teas, so please enter my name. Oh and biscotti and books to look at too!
Shell I want you to know I pulled myself out of my sick bed to come up on the computer and see about you and this hurricane earl business, be safe!
Perfect saying for September, especially since it was my birthdy yesterday and it was a major milestone. I look forward to each new block. Thanks you so much for sharing your talents.
Wouldn't it be great to receive the give away as a birthday present? :)
I'm a frequent follower.
Yes, I would love to see another BOM from you next year. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
I love the beautiful photo of Sugie below :) wrapped in the blanket! she really is a darling princess - hold her tight Shell :)
Hi Michelle! How sweet of you to stop by and leave such a kind comment! I really do appreciate it! Your so sweet! Thank you!
I'm praying that Hurricane Earl will go away too!
Like you my favorite time of year is September through December too. I can't wait for the leaves to change and to feel that cold crisp in the air.
Your stitchery is absolutely beautiful! What a lovely gift to give. I've always wanted to learn how to do this. Maybe now, since I have some time, I can take up a class. It's an absolutely beautiful art to do. I love all the positive words. Lovely and thoughtful giveaway! Hope your having a lovely week so far! Thanks again! :)
God Bless,
Charmaine
I wanted to let you know that I just completed the embroidery on the Baroque Bouquet pattern I ordered from you. I love it! Not sure how I should finish it, frame,make a wall hanging? I would still like to do your block of the month, I love how your pockets look. I printed the first couple of patterns but have not started yet. If you do a new one, I'm in. Great giveaway and of course I am a follower.
Well, have been follower for some time now and love hearing of bunny tales.. Would love to try tea and am looking for it now..Love bicottis too. I do have quite a bit on the agneda for now but maybe ?? I am trying to do a workshop but no one interested so far?
Bunny hugs,
Maggey
Love the pumpking stitch..
Hi Michelle,Try #2 to leave a comment!
Your sentimental Journey stitcheries have been wonderful. you ask if we would like more?? Silly question,we'd love them but I don't know how you could follow these.
As I Live in a 175+ year old cottage your book would be a treat. Cookies,tea too!!.
I'm in heaven pick me!!Please!!!
Hug,Faye
Hi Shell, I love your stitchery and just wish I had all the time to do what I want. I have to two blocks left on my quilt and the top will be done. I am taking some new meds that even though I am tired, they keep me awake. It means another discussion with the doctor. I would love to enter your drawing and you know I am a follower. Have a great holiday weekend. I am off until Tuesday from work and would you believe we are going to get in the 40's tonight. It is crazy. Your Missouri Friend.
If you have the time and the creative energy I would LOVE another journey in the new year!!
Thank you!

I love you free stitcheries this year and would love to have another one. There are so many generous designers like you that give us such beautiful pieces to work on.
Oh! This is the BOM I mentioned in my other comment, I couldn't remember what you had called it. Sentimental Journey is just beautiful, and I will definitely be stitching each BOM, and I think I would like to make it into a wall hanging for my new home, something that people see when they enter, as it is just stunning! I would looove you to design another something special - I just adore doing stitchery, as well as quilting. Hope to see more of your wonderful creations in the future. Hugs & Blessings, Sue.
I know I am queing in late on this post, but I want you to know how much I have enjoyed your Sentimental Journey through the months and I can truthfully say, that this is the only BOM I make sure I stay current in working. I adore your designs and truly enjoy stitching them. Please some more!!!! Pretty Please :)
Thanks!
