So, Who Wants To Travel?

First off, I thank you all so much for your kind words regarding my finish of "ABCD" by La-D-Da.  I've had tons of complements and lots of you have decided to add it to your wish lists.  I'm so happy to help spread a little inspiration.

Now, you may or may not know this, but Peggy Lee at Kentucky Sampler was actually my inspiration for wanting this chart. (Check out her posts here, here, here, here and here.)  I had seen this chart in the past, but I never managed to put it in my stash and she so very kindly offered to me on loan.  The first time I saw it a very dear friend of mine was working on it and finished it while I was visiting her last May.  In fact, that's where I borrowed the idea of making the "J" a different color.  (Thanks Sharon!  Hug, hug.....miss you!  Hope to see you soon!  Maybe in August???)

Long story endless, Peggy Lee came up with the idea of making this a traveling pattern.  I LOVE THIS IDEA!  So, after some email correspondence with Peggy Lee, I have received her blessing to see if there is enough interest in her idea.  Of course, there will have to be a few ground rules, as follows: 

1. If you decide to join in our travels, you must have an active blog.  (After all, how else will you be able to offer it up to fellow stitchers?)
2. You must also be willing to stitch this pattern in a timely manner so that it can be sent on to someone else.  Or, if you can't stitch it in a reasonable time, you will need to forgo your chance and offer it up to the next person.  
3. You must also be willing to post your progress on your blog.  (How else are we supposed to share in your Happy Dances?)
4. If a suitable stitcher can not be found, the package will then be sent back to Peggy Lee.

If we get enough interest, I will draw a name and the chart will be off to you in a jiffy.  Included with the chart will be a small "autograph" book.  This way you can sign your name and maybe leave some facts about how you stitched the pattern.  Maybe you can include a swatch of fabric and floss.  Or, maybe you could even include a picture showing how you finished it.  It doesn't matter what you choose to write, just be creative.  Eventually the package will make its way back to Peggy Lee.  That way she can have a fun little memento to remember this by.

Let me know by July 10th.  If the interest is there than I will get the rolling!

Happy Stitches!
