Stitching Meets Filofax - Use A Stitching Theme In Your Summer Planner

How do you organize your life?  Do you need some inspiration

to get organized?  I still love using pen and paper in a Filofax

planner.  Actually keeping my planner has become a new hobby

because I decorate my pages with scrapbook and office supplies. 

In previous blog posts, I showed you how I was using a sewing

theme in my Filofax this year.  Now take a picture walk with me

through some of my summer planner pages! You may find some

When recipients open our stitched gifts, they see our love in every stitch we crossed.  As you are getting your holiday stitching rolling, I am so happy to introduce two new holiday designs from AC Needlework.  Keep reading to get the details. 

War and Needlework – Commemorating Valor

Blankets, quilts, socks, uniforms, flags - all are items sewn for warriors throughout the centuries.  Whether made by hand or machine, many relatives (usually women) have stitched items for their loved one to take with them into battle.  In addition to making necessities for war, needlework has also been used to tell stories about war.  One of the most famous uses of needlework to tell a story of war is the  Bayeux Tapestry.  Consisting of eight sections of embroidery, the tapestry tells the story of how William of Normandy conquered England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
