Beatrix floss toss
I wandered all over town today and finally tracked down the floss I needed. I still need to decide between the two dark browns, but maybe that'll be easier in the light of tomorrow morning. Sorry for the rather obscured view of the beads, but I didn't want to chase them all over the floor. :)
Happy stitching everyone!

A little further
Just a little. But at least I managed to get the top arch in without it looking too horrendous. :) Hopefully I'll finish in the next two weks so I don't start Beatrix too far behind everyone.

BBD update
Well I've made it this far
But somehow I've gotten off one stitch on the top. After several attempts to find out where and how, I've given up and I'm just adding a stitch to each side of the top arch.

Here's my progress from last week on the SAL. I must say I'm having a whole bunch of fun with the colors. :)

SAL Progress
Sure there was a fair amount of frogging due to me not being able to see properly in the middle of the night, but I had a lot of fun getting this far:

Floss toss
Well I cut my fabric (Wichelt's hand-dyed jobelan in "Summer Sky") and picked threads (Olde Willows: Raspberry Ripple, Vampire Kiss, Frankenstein, Sandy Beach, and Grape Soda; Sampler Threads Liberty and Freedom). Now, just waiting for Sunday.... :)

Hello everyone!
I am happily joining your SAL. I can hardly wait to get home to pick out fabric and treads for the Blackbird Quaker House pattern!
Currently the Quaker I'm working on is Midsummer Night Designs' "Quaker Meetinghouse". Completed it is supposed to look like this:
But I am not using the colors it calls for so my WIP looks a little different:
The threads I changed to are Silk and Colors "Stormy Skies" (blue), Sampler Threads "Grape Leaf" (green), and Silk and Colors "Nan's Mulberry" (pink). I think I am stitching on 32-count parchment jobelan.
