Mary Kathryn also added a skein of Dinky Dyes silk thread as a "down payment" for a fob she bought! She is too kind! :) I was thinking of using the Lugana to stitch "Kind Fond Love Sampler" one of these days. I saw Peg from Lost in Threads stitched this over one on Lugana last year. I thought it turned out so pretty!
Well, I didn't go stitching last night. I was just too tired to drive an hour to only stitch for an hour. I did stitch at home on Queen Anne's Lace. Here's the latest progress pic...
Not a huge difference, but I did get to another set of roses. Lots of color changes again! :) Well, not much else going on. I'm so tired today! I've been making myself get up early to prepare for Bradley going back to school in a couple of weeks! Jake still has to wait another year. His birthday is ONE day past the deadline. I know that is probably a good thing for him to wait, but sometimes I think it would be really nice for him to be going to school - to play with other kids, etc. Oh well, what can you do?? :) Write later!!
She's so pretty! I am not crazy about Lugana, I find it a bit "stretchy" but I bet it would fun for over one. I've never stitched on jobelan. I love packages. Have a fun day!
ReplyDeleteYour QAL looks as though it coming along very quickly, such a lot of work, but very pretty! :-) It's always nice to get a stitchy package, isn't it? ;-)

I'm a linen girlie so not very fond of jobelan or lugana but it is soft, no doubt. Your stitching is coming along beautiful - looks so delicate. Those little progresses are BIG ones :) The beginning of school is looming - eek. I don't want Bent to go back - I like having him around!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole, Thanks for the kind words. We have been missing you down here~ Love your stitching, of course I love the little pillow I have from you the best!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you soon!

Hi Nicole:
ReplyDeleteYour Queen Anne's Lace is just really beautiful! You make lots of progress on her! I also have Kind Fond Love Sampler in my stash! I thought it was so pretty! Thank you for coming into my blog and also for adding me as a contact on Flckr. I love watching your stitching! You are doing a great job! Debby :)
Hi Nicole, I've been reading your blog for a while now and am really enjoying watching your Queen Anne's Lace grow. It's such a pretty design!
ReplyDeleteAnother great progress pic of QAL. You are really motoring along.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole, I've been browsing on your blog for a while and love the beautiful things you stitch that I would never think to chose. It's gorgeous at your site, and then I leave it at the shops again! LOL
ReplyDeleteBut I've come out of the ether to offer support to DS#2. I was very young for my school and although I was smart, I wasn't as mature or co-ordinated as my peers. That hurt when I started school. Later, it affected some of my creative arts work in late high school. Hopefully he will thank the system for not letting him in too soon.
QAL is looking great Nicole.
