And stitching wise...



Katy Horn
Fabric: 40ct Lakeside Linens, 
Vtg. Exampler
Fibers: Converted to NPI
SAL with Janet and Deb @ LNS

Well, I thought I've posted this one, too!

Katy is all caught up about a week ago.

I really like a girl in a red/white dress :)))

As I still have a couple weeks 
till our next Sampler Sunday,
I decided to start something new.


"Four Square Christmas"
Fabric: "Patty" Hand-dyed Linen 40ct @WDW
Fibers: WDW, CC and GA

My very first cross stitch project 
a little over ten years ago was a kit 
by Homespun Elegance.

I don't know where I put that project,
but it was a little framed piece
with lovely brass charm.

Ever since, I don't think I haven't 
picked up any from her designs till this one.
Not sure why, but just didn't get caught
my eyes for no reason.

But I now remember how sweet they are!!


I'm going to finish the above as a small pillow
 like in the pattern picture.


And then I will stitch a few ornaments
from the same pattern.
Some for myself and others for
Annual Silent Auction for Breast Cancer
 Research at my LNS in late November.

The color of this fabric is actually
very greenish, 
but the picture really doesn't
 justify the true color well :(

All right.
 I don't think I missed anything
what are keeping me busy this week.

Time to go out for Sunday happy hour now.
Yay!!

  8. I just love your sampler! I have to ask if you made any color changes. I have this one in my stash but I think that I lost the cover of the chart. I didn't realize that the colors would be so pretty. I'm definitely going to have to add this one to the stitching list.
