Last January my family and I were skiing in Breckenridge, Co; there I discovered 2 wonderful and cozy shops: Tea Time Quilting and Stitchery where I was able to find books on making miniature pullovers for ornaments called "Miniature Sweaters" Christmas Tree Decorations Books I,II & III by Betty Lampen The other shop is Sara's of Breckenridge, a needlepoint boutique located at 100 S. Main Street, Breckenridge, CO. 80424, tel no. 970-547-0908. There I fell in love and purchased "The Carolers", a Christmas collection of 13 different designs created by Artist Pat Thode. If you are interested in buying them you can ask Sara Hirsch, to mail you the Carolers several at a time and/or separately monthly. She will also send you a binder with additional instructions and suggestions on colors and threads. In both shops everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Adventure in blogging

My childhood friend from Switzerland, Martine Perey, while visiting me this summer with her family, helped me creating a patchwork and needlework blog!
