Two New Starts!

My starts often come in twos. Don't ask why. Maybe because I just can't decide! I want to be working on everything at once. I decided I wanted to start a little bit of "Poinsettias and Pines" to see how it would look on the fabric I chose. I thought the fabric was 40 ct. Elegant Bean, but it is actually 40 ct. Luna. Here's my teeny, tiny start on that...


I think I'm going to like it! :) I also started "Prairie Sampler." I'm loving it so far! I just love stitching with the Belle Soie Silks. Here's my other little wip pic...


The fabric for that one is 32 ct. Vintage Examplar by Lakeside Linens. I also got a bit of stash in the mail the other day. I got "The Busy Needle" by Little House Needleworks. It's an exclusive design for The Busy Needle in Tuscon. After seeing Vonna's stitched I knew I had to have it! I got one for Susan too, for her kindness in sending out all those packages.


Well, I think that's all. I've got to get calling utility companies to have them turned on at the apartment and turned off at the house. Fun, fun! Write later!

    I have been eyeing the Poinsettias and Pine design for some time. It looks great on the fabric you picked. You are right the Belle Soie threads are just wonderful to work with.

    Such fun, pretty new starts. I especially like Poinsettas and Pines. And the little Busy Needle chart is adorable. Great fabric choices too. I just recently discovered Lakeside Linens and I love them.

    Lovely starts! I've been trying to hold myself back from the Poinsettia and Pines pattern, but seeing your lovely silks, fabric and small start is weakening my willpower.
