The little Quaker sampler from the Marquoir Group is finished. I added a bit to the top of the sampler to center it on the pillow (since I didn't get it centered originally). Ooops, I added my dad and step mother's initials but apparently didn't get a pic of it -- sooo this isn't current. Better do that another time. Anyway, it was a fun little stitch and easy on my eyes.
The Mystery Sampler by Kelly Searles is almost finished -- only one more part to go. How exciting! I love to finish a project -- it's such a sense of accomplishment. I added a little of the dark brown to the acorn caps. It doesn't show up much in the picture -- hmmm, perhaps I should add a little more to make it more visible??
I started something new last week, Symmetry by Needle Delights (I also love starting a new project). So far it's a fun stitch. Needless to say, I changed the colors a bit from the original and put it on grey congress cloth. There's still lots to do but it's a good start.
Rats .... forgot to take a pic of Mary Wigham but I did get some stitching done on her also.
Anyone want a beagle puppy for a couple weeks??? Though I should warn you, Meadow is teething BIG BIG time. Her new nickname is little Shark. I will be sooo glad when she has all her big-girl teeth.
Nice work! What's the fabric you're using for the Mystery SAL? I love the color! (as well as the pattern....)
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is 28 count plum lugana though the color looks more like maroon than plum to me. I love it also and think it's sooo beautiful! I will have to use it again sometime.
And just for the record (since I don't have them written down anywhere yet), the threads for my GGM:
DMC
3371 - dark brown
613 - taupe-grey color(used on the letters)
244 - pink (flowers & berries)
772 - very pale green (leaf and acorns)
738 - tan
Progress on all look great!
