Beatrix Potter Framed
I really wanted to get something framed and out of the "drawer." So I pulled out the BP Sampler that we did as a SAL last year. I picked it up from the framers yesterday and I think it turned out great!! Here is a snap -
I really enjoyed the SAL - can't wait for another....... :)

BP SAL update
Here is a snap of my BP SAL, I have been working on other projects so this did fall to the wayside and I am not as far along as I would want to be, but it is still a really fun stitch.
How far along is everyone else, or are you all finished???? :)
Take care,

Progress is slow
I am stitching Beatrix Potter on 36 count Lakeside Linens Vintage Light exemplar with The Threadgatherer's Nan's Mulberry. I started with a different color, didn't like it and restarted with this which is my current favorite color. I am looking forward to making a lot of Sunday progress on this piece which is a lot of fun to stitch. I am new to blogging so have yet figured out how to post a picture but will try after this weeks progress.

Beatrix moving along....
A little more progress. The little frog came to visit and slowed me down a bit. I still am off on one of the motifs, but I think I am going to ignore it until I am finished and then decide if I feel like it matters. Life is too short to worry about backs and being one stitch off! If you can find the mistake, I will send you a spool of Vikki Clayton silks!

Finally...something to show you!
I don't think I have ever posted to this blog before, even though I have been reading it for several months now. I wanted to join because I am a quaker nut, but haven't had a moment to start Beatrix Potter. Wednesday evening, I finally just started it, even though I had wanted to complete some things first. I am a serial starter, so you may not see too much finished!!

Here's a little update...
I thought I would post a snap of the little bit of progress I have made in the last day or so.
I have been really busy getting together the RR I am in. First sketching, then charting then stitching.....then thinking about it. As you can see with the BP piece I am working it along the bottom and then will turn the corner and work up the side eventually working to the middle of the piece. I am still really enjoying working this piece, but there never seems to enough stitching time does there????

Stitching away at the BP Sampler
We just got back at the end of last week from vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota, what a great area to visit. But the entire time I was away not a stitch was done. I worked on the SAL this past Sunday and here the project stands . I need to chart out some initials under the bird/lake , or I might do a date, I have not decided.
Hope everyone is having a great summer.
Take care,

I just finished a Quaker Needle Roll for a Quaker exchange,no pictures yet.

BP sal I
Hi girls!
Yesterday I could not find the time to post, but here it is now:
Not much of a progress, only half of a motif, but still- a progress.
The material is a home-made linen about 100 years old (from inheritance), the floss is DMC 902. I like it very much, stitching on it is very much fun.
See you next week!
