TaaDaah!
Hello friends,
I'm so pleased to share with you my first ever sampler and Quaker finish!
Hannah Beeby was so much fun to stitch and went quite quickly - not difficult to do when my sewing room is filled with stuff from the attic while it's getting a complete re-do, leaving my quilting on hold for a while.
So there's nothing else for it but to pick up the needle again, and continue where I left off with Ann Grimshaw 1818. Poor me! LOL!!
cheers,

just clean forgot..
Hello all!
Just wanted to share progress on the Hannah Beeby Sampler that I've been working on, and clean forgot to share with you!
I worked on the 3 motifs on this past Friday night while watching some old movies and drinking lots of tea. Since then I've been working on it, encouraged by how fast this has been going, but haven't had time to take a photo yet with the holiday preparations and all...lol!
I'd like to wish you all a very happy Holiday Season, and wishes of good health, lots of laughter and stitching for the New Year!
hugs from Holland,
heidi

A long time.....
since I have posted. I am starting to crawl out from my work hole. (I work in the pubic schools and have no life from mid august to mid June! )
I have a couple of finishes to share.
First Ann Grimshaw:
A closeup of the frames..
Ann is stitched on 32 ct. Navy Bean with HDF Indigo Ocean. This was so fun!
Here is Hannah Beeby, finished in February.
Also stitched on 32 ct Navy Bean with Vikki Clayton Silks with Old Maid of the Sea.

My Hannah Beeby start
I was late making a start on my Hannah Beeby SAL as I was waiting for silk floss to arrive from the US. It arrived yesterday and this is what I manage to stitch yesterday afternoon/last night. The fabric is 40ct antique white linen and the floss is NPI in Very Dark Forest Green (407).

Hannah Beeby Start
I have started a new Quaker sampler as part of a SAL that just started in March. It's the Hannah Beeby 1816 sampler from Gitta's. We are stitching on it the last full week of each month.
I am stitching it 1 over 2 on Tundra fabric from Lakeside Linen using Snoqualmie Falls overdyed cotton from Needle Necessities. Here is my progress at the end of Round 1. You can click on the picture to see an even larger version of the photo. Please pardon the wrinkles -- I didn't press it for the photo.
I had so much fun working on it. I almost hate to wait until the end of April to work on it again. LOL
