A finish and a start...

Well,
It's Sunday... and daylight saving day... so hope you sprung ahead last night... or your an hour late for something... ;)
I got to stitch the last couple of days... and I was able to get into my stash of linen a bit! Yay...
I started and finished this cute little stitch by Nathalie of The Blue Attic.  Click the link to go to her Etsy Shop!  She has the cutest little prim stitches!

I used the same homespun on the the back and I used moss brown hand dyed chenille from Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe

I also started Still Waters by Plum Street Samplers (check out her blog... Nashville pictures!)
I bought this pattern kitted with flosses from Vickie Clayton ~ Hand-dyed Fibers silks! I was so excited to see it with Vickie's silks that I jumped on it! I love the colors. I love the subject matter and I love the pattern!

Stay warm my friends!

He Is Risen Finished!

Evening All!

I finished the stitch He is Risen!  I used a linen that I coffee stained myself.  I stitched it to a lovely piece of grey/blue matka silk.  I mounted it to a board and plan to frame it.

Now... back to Serenity Harbor.  I've changed my mind.  I'm going to stitch it on a lovely creamy colored piece of 26 ct linen 1/1.

Almost done...

I should be done tonight.  Thinking on how to finish this stitch.  I'm going to see what I have for frames... I'm thinking stitching to a piece of wool or homespun and then framing it...

Stay warm!

He Is Risen ~ Final color choice

Morning All...

Funny thing how we think we will like one thing and then decide... mmmm.... no.  I stitched 3 other colors before landing on this one.  

Can't wait to finish... it should go quickly now.

It's cold here.  -4 this morning.  A beautiful "crisp" day...

Stay warm!

choosing colors

So, I joined the 12 month Serenity Harbor Sampler. I love Donna's designs at By the Bay Needleart

Last night Donna emailed me the beginning instructions!  I immediately went down stairs and started choosing colors and my fabric.  I just so happened to have the perfect size of linen... which considering mine will be 34-35" tall, was pretty outstanding! 

Happy Stitching!

Stay warm!!
