WIP ~ Resurrection

This was a MUST HAVE chart as soon as I saw it!  It is from Examplars From The Heart.  The linen... well, I'm not sure.  I had hoped that I would find a post on it here in my blog but alas just pictures no info.  It's a 40 ct but I'm not sure on the color anymore.  I started this last spring and then put it down to stitch stockings and what have you.  I just picked it back up last night.  I'm working on the sun right now.  Oh, how heavenly!  The threads are silks from Hand Dyed Fibers... scrumptious!  If you haven't stitched with silk you should treat yourself... hmmm... or maybe not... Here's the link to Vikki at HDF

My only concern is the color of floss for the sun with my choice for the linen... do you think it'll be ok?  I suppose it's a little late to fret about... The lat thing I want to do is pull all those stitches... not to mention finding a floss to replace it with... hmmm... well, stay tuned for continued progress... (hopefully) LOL!  
Keep an eye out I'm gonna post stash later!

Linen Stash

Well, I got an order from Silkweaver! Have you ever ordered from them? I have a couple pieces of their linen that I got else where but this is the first time I actually ordered from them.... oooo how lovely! Soft, beautiful hand dyed linen!!! The big piece is called Desert Sky (it has lovely soft peaches/blues... just like a sunrise...) I am planning this for my Chatelaine Springtime in Holland...

The other 2 are from their Expressions Linen Assortments... you order they send you something... their choice either 32 or 28 ct. I got Intrigue in 28 (that lovely denimy/purply blue!) and

Goldspinner in 32... (the beautiful sunny yellow...) Please note how nicely surged it is around the whole piece of linen! I think it was well worth it!!! The small pieces were priced at $6.50 They are both 9x13... I'm thinking I need another order... hmmm... DH might kill me... hmmm.... death... linen.... death.... linen... maybe I better stitch and think on this... ;-)

Bygone Stitches ~ Quaker Christmas and Stash

Ok, here's my ByGone Stitches ~ Quaker Christmas... obviously I'm not very far... I had to pull stitches... arrrgggghhhhh! I'm stitching on 32 ct Silkweavers "Days Gone By" 1/1... so pulling stitches... yuk! I'm doing it a little different... I added the blue which really isn't very Christmasy... but I couldn't resist! The threads are Gloriana Silk Luminescence: Black Cherry, Forest, Antique Gold and Midnight.

OOOO! Stash Report! Smaller picture is Thread Gather Silken Pearl... the bigger picture is more Gloriana Luminescence... I got that beautiful dark blue but then of course had nothing to go with it... I ordered the Sky Blue to go with it! Also, I added the purples and the green... absolutely GORGEOUS!!! ;-)
Isn't this just the prettiest picture? I have been "collecting" Gentle Arts, Cresent Colours and Weeks Dye for a while now... lol... so I snapped this picture... there is nothing more lucious than beautiful overdyed threads!!!
