Travel Stitching

DH and I are getting ready to go out of town for a week, and I wanted a project to take along in case I have some time for a little slow stitching.  It seemed like the easiest thing to plan for would be a simple cross-stitch design, like one of Melisa's mini samplers.  So I hunted around on PinkernPunkin Quilting and found this one that I haven't stitched yet.

This is the Bunny Mini Sampler - found here.

I picked out the flosses I'll need, cut a piece of Aida cloth to size, and got out the bigger hoop to take along, too.


Last year, a friend gave me this adorable needle book that she made for me, so I'm taking it along to hold the floss, scissors, needle-threader and needles.  Isn't it sweet?


I love this little label that is on the inside.


Now I'm excited to get working on this little sampler!

Safe travels! You know I took along one of her pumpkin stitcheries and only worked on it a little, the roads were to bumpy to do in the truck and I just wasn't in the mood to do it other times. That's ok I will work on it here at home now;)
