A in a MIni

This is a letter from the mini I will be trading with my partner at QuiltCon 2019 in Nashville, Tenn. next week. I am always excited about QuiltCon and this year is no exception. I love the energy and the creativity that surround and permeates the event. Oh then there are the vendors, like who does not love shopping for all the "stuff". I have a class on embroidery with a feather motif that I think will re hone some of my embroidery skills that I have not used in forever. Embroidery was one of the first needle art I learned from my Grandmother and Mother. I have done a lot including crewel when it was popular. Stitches on my needle have come in many forms and I guess I just love the hand and mind sync of the whole thing. Like reading, when I have stitches on my needle I am relaxed and in my happy place even when that needle is attached to a machine.
Anyway, this mini is a repeat of one I made a few years ago that I have always enjoyed, simple but always a reminder of why I do what I do with Stitches on my Needle...reveal later.
QuiltCon 2019 you are in my future...whoohoo.
