Rachael Holmes 1842

Apologies for the poor picture, this is my current obsession, uh WIP, Heartstring Samplery's Rachael Holmes 1842. Kathy is a little farther along than I am but I'm working hard to catch up.

It's a sweet stitch and just full of funky wonderfulness. I don't want to put it down and get really annoyed when I have to do something like clean or cook that interrupts my stitching.

Lovely work stitched by our Stacy and Finished by Sue.

Here are a couple of beautiful WIPs from our Kathy.
This is Rachel Holmes


This is The Day


What is everyone else working on?? Come on ladies post some pictures we want to see!

Here is my first finish for 2010. It is Clara's Skating Sampler by Tanya Anderson, the Sampler girl. I put my name instead and the date I met my husband. We use to iceskate all the time together.

Garden of Eerie Progress

This is my current progress on Plum Street Samplers Garden of Eerie:

This is a fun stitch and I'm enjoying more than anything I've stitched in a while. I may start PSS Paradise Lost next.

Here's the closeup of FrankenAdam and Bride of FrankenAdam.....

First Project for 2010

Here are the first stitches on my Plum Street Samplers Garden of Eerie. The fabric is 32ct and dyed by me. Full story on my blog:

I love, love, love this design!

A new year, a fresh start

Hi everybody,
What are you stitching on? Do you have anything special to start on New Years Day? I have been working on making lots of little washcloths (crochet) and having lots of fun with them. I also have been working on a design by Sampler Girl called Aunt Clara's Skating Sampler 1891. I am changing the name on it and adding mine since my husband and I use to ice skate together in the 70's I thought I would make a reference to that instead of Aunt Clara. I am sure she will forgive me. LOL

I hope to have this finished by the end of the week and maybe it will be my very first finish of 2010.
