In October when I was visiting friends in Southern California we went to the Long Beach Flea Market. Jacki, Irene, Brian, and I got separate for a few minutes. When we rejoined, Jacki had purchased a scarf that was from India and stitched in Kantha style. Since I have loved Kantha cloth for quite sometime I was very envious of her purchase. One day soon after I returned home a package arrived in the mail from Jacki and guess what was inside, the scarf! Of course I was in seventh heaven. I have created this journal in the Kantha stitching style. Thanks for the inspiration, Jacki.

This is my last blog entry for 2016 and it is my 307th! I actually can't believe that I have accomplished as much as I have this year. I have continued my philosophy of uploading whatever I am working on even if I consider the work to be a "wart". I am a firm believer that everything does not necessarily turn out perfectly and that is just fine with me.
Happy New Year to each of you! I appreciate you so much. Many of you I do not even know and that astounds me even more. Since the early fall I have been enjoying a surge in followers. I know many bloggers try and answer anyone who comments on their blog. I have chosen to not spend that much time on the computer. Please know that I do read your comments and that I am very appreciative of you taking the time to comment. Thank you. The best to each of you in 2017. :-)
