Getting Close!

I'm getting very close to finishing "Family Sampler."

I just have to stitch the sheep and a few more motifs! I've definitely been bitten by the Shepherd's Bush bug - I'm thinking of stitching this one next...

Shepherd's Bush Sail Away

It's "Sail Away." I thought I had lost the kit. I looked everywhere for it yesterday. I mean everywhere! I finally found in my pantry, in a basket with mostly magazines and some yarn. How crazy is that? Anyway, I'm so glad I found it. I just love this one. :) Write soon!

  1. I really, really love this Family Sampler. And your stitching is so fab. Did you mark up the original chart? If not, would you be willing to sell the chart to me? I could sub my own threads for it.

    And where did you get the Shepherd's Bush heart-shaped thread holder? Does it come in the kit? I'd love to have one of those.

  5. Oh my gosh, it is too pretty!! It really is beautiful. I love Sail Away as well--I think it's one of my favorites. It reminds me of my daughter, going off to college, when I swear she was just a little kid a second ago. Time goes too quickly! Your stitching is beautiful.

  13. I love the Family Sampler, you work is beautiful. I have also been bitten by the Shepherds Bush bug. I just got Sail Away for my birthday. Haven't started it yet, but it is right next to me. I have spent a lot of my time lately quilting. I think you have motivated me back to some evening cross stitching!

  20. How exciting that you've nearly finished FS. It's so pretty and I like the rose on it.

    I'll be interested to see you work on Sail Away because I'm still undecided about whether I like this one or not.

    Love the new header too, Nicole. Such a beautiful picture of the SB fob.

  21. SB is one of my faves, also. I like the way you put the symbol on the thread holder...I always write out the thread number out. Debra in NC.

  24. This is turning out to be so pretty, I really like it.

    Sail Away is probably going to be my next start too. I pulled it out last week and I remembered how much I like that design.
