I also started something new last night. I couldn't resist! I got the threads pulled and a couple pieces of fabric out and sat down with the pattern and saw that one of the pieces of linen was the exact size, count and color for the design, so I decided it was fate and had to start right away. The design is "This is the Day" by Hands to Work from the Jan/Feb 2009 Just Cross Stitch.
My rotation has kind of taken a backseat this week. I'm going to do my best to get back to it next week! Write later! :)
A beautiful finish Nicole! Congrats!! And your new startdoes sound like fate!
ReplyDeleteCUTE! Now I want to start Earth Day. You're a bad influence! ;-) LOL Harrison is just beautiful... I just love babies!
ReplyDeleteThe Earth Sampler is gorgeous. Looks fun too!
ReplyDeleteI remember this issue. I believe it also had Tanya's Persuasion too. Nice start, Nicole!
Congrats Nicole on a beautiful finish!! It is so cute and so pretty too! I saw this sampler in Just Cross Stitch and thought it was really pretty! I finally picked up my stitching yesterday and stitched a couple of small motifs on Quaker Virtue! I am going to stitch on it again today! I needed a little pick me up and that project is just the thing to do that for me!! I love it!!
