Stitching and Stashing!

I got back from stitching at Amy's a couple hours ago. I had a ton of fun. The time always just flies by when I'm there. I didn't get much stitching done, but I did get a ton of shopping done in her Down Sunshine Lane room. I got a few of the Nashville new releases along with some threads I was needing and a fat 1/2 of 40 ct. Antique White Newcastle linen for Mouline Rouge (scroll down). After I finish 500 other things I would love to stitch it one day!

Here's my progress pic of "With My Needle" from yesterday. Not a ton of progress, but I did get more of her dress stitched.

Well, nothing else going on. I'm going to stitch a little bit on HoHRH! Write soon! :)

  3. Love your stash. "With my Needle" is looking great. Is this from Book 1? I guess the original chart is OOP by now.

    I would love to stitch the ABC Hornbook too - it looks like lots of fun.

  7. Did you get the new colors of Belle Soie or just colors you needed? Thought I saw a real pretty blue in your picture. Great job on your projects--and I do love that ABC Hornbook
