Sampler of Stitches - MNO / PQR - The Drawn ThreadRecommended 30 count linen
Recommended NPI Silks
I finished up PQR last night leaving the queen stitch quilt for last. I don't know why I think I hate that stitch because I always end up enjoying it. :-) Like all the others, these two charts worked up super quick and I love how they are all looking together. Only three more to go!
I started a small project from the Blackbird Designs book, With Needle and Thread. I'm using a really pretty Silkweavers 28 count called Marine Blue. I'm using the coolest Needle Necessities overdyed floss called Snoqualmie Falls - it's dark marine blue, dark green and dark mauve. Needle Necessities is sadly going out of business so a couple a weeks ago I picked up about 15 skeins of my favorite colors. Anyway, this will be a birthday gift for my sister. She as been really bugging me for about a year now to give her something. Personally I think that's very rude but she just keeps at it. So hopefully this will shut her up for a while. :-) I was going to make a mattress type pincushion out of it, but I think it will finish too big for that so I might end up putting it in a small frame. I'll have a photo tomorrow for sure when I have more than just a couple of letters complete. I should be finished by the end of the week for sure. I'm not sure what I want to start next/finish up. I'm not really enjoying working on Quaker Samplings from CHS but I really want it finished. So maybe I'll work on that for a couple of days and start the new Blackbird Designs Loose Feather. I'm already to go with that one.

NN is going out of business?!! OMG, that's horrible! I love their floss!
Your DT looks gorgeous. I've really enjoyed watching your progress with it.
The sample of stitches is beautiful, congratulations!!!!
Thanks for the info about NN, how sad>
DT is gorgeous! I need to get busy. The only allowed to nag me about stitching something for them is my mom. She can ask all she wants :-).
The DT sampler is just beautiful. I have a DT in my stash. I should get it out and stitch on it.
I really love how this is looking stitched up as one piece, I think you may be enabling me!
Congratulations to clancy for doing so well on his trial, and to you for getting a new little pug. The picture of the puppies was adorable.
The DT sampler is gorgeous!
Congratulations to your sweet little pugs-Clancy for doing so well and Molly for finishing! The puppies are so adorable-you must be very excited!
Oh wow! That is so pretty! I love it!
Your sampler is gorgeous! You've really been cruising along with it. How sweet of you to stitch something for your sister even after all her bugging. I hate it when people bug and bug in an effort to wear you down. I just got that bugging thing from a friend of mine.
