Welcome everyone to Averyclaire Needlearts! I am excited to be a part of the “Grow Your Blog Party.” Thank you for stopping in to visit.
I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the Chicago area. Whether I am home or away, I keep busy hands. There is nothing more wonderful than a cup of hot tea while having a piece of some kind of needlework, sewing, quilting, or knitting in my hands. An early morning in the perennial garden fills my soul. I can get lost for weeks in books and am a passionate Francophile. Music to sooth the soul is Andrea Bocelli, Adamo, and John Denver.
My grandmother, Clara Avery, taught me to knit when I was seven and instilled into me the gentle art of all kinds of needlework.
If you leave a comment on this post you will be entered in the drawing to win a prize (the drawing will be held on February 15th). It will be a lovely cross-stitched surprise. However, please scroll through my blog to see some of my projects. I hope you enjoy them all and I look forward to seeing all of your projects as well.
Amities, Averyclaire
Thanks again for coming!
