Stash Diving

I was going through my patterns today and one caught my eye, so I decided to pull the threads for it, and then I decided to to throw the threads on some linen and here is the result!

Her Sampler with linen and threads

The pattern is an old one called "Her Sampler" by Kathy Barrick-Dieter from when she was designing under Barrick Samplers. The threads are DMC and the linen is 40 ct. Light Sand New Castle. I'm into 40 ct. again for some crazy reason!

I also got a little bit more stitched on "Sea to Shining" I'm loving this one. I love the linen and the silks are such a nice change from all the cotton I've been stitching with lately.

Sea to Shining Sea

It's so nice to be home! We had a rough trip going and coming back. I don't think any of the kids wanted to be in the car for eight hours! I was thinking of going down again for Thanksgiving, but after the last trip the thought makes me shudder slightly! :) Write later!
