I have been sorely negligant with my blog... much apologies! I haven't
posted since I was suddenly divorced in December and moved from
Oregon to Nevada to be near my son's family. So much has changed since
then. My name for one. I took my father's and great grandfathers name in
Cynthia Atley Peterson. Still Cindy to friends.
After Christmas I moved into my new "Tiny House". I am so comfortable
here and enjoy my new life style. Although it is only 209 sq feet, I have room
for everything except my Glimakra loom. By the middle of next winter
I will have a house built by my son, small but room for the loom! In the
meanwhile I have a great space for knitting and embroidery. Even a little
office complete enough to do my patterns.

This is my new sampler. Everything but one pattern is free and
available on the internet. To friends, Kim Hershelman Brehm, and
Bhooma Avaramudan have started a new Facebook page ***The Big Red
Band Sampler I was contrary and did mine blue this time. Kim's is the
traditional red.

In our group, you are all free to join, there are files where to find all
the patterns free and otherwise, to make your own.
Here is IAN 1823 that I finished last spring. It is a Fresian
sampler that was an old Permin sampler. Instead of the traditional blue, I
chose to make it with left over silks of all colors.

You have to look really hard to the left to see my tiny house! The best part of
living at my son's is it comes with a lake. I purchased an old canoe and my
Annie loves to go out with me.
