36 ct. Pearled Barley, DMC (2 over 2)
I really want to start something new. I was thinking about one of the new Plum Street Sampler designs or this one by Carriage House Samplings...
"Miss Lila's House"
I'm trying to decide if I want to stitch it on 35 ct. WDW Onyx, or on 40 ct. Sienna Night (like Karin is using). I'll probably work on my stocking while I decide. :) Write later!
You are zippin right along on houses. I really like it so much with 2 over 2 because the images are so graphic it really looks good with the extra coverage. I love you color changes on this house too, I may have to "borrow" when I get to that block, if thats ok with you. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are really doing a wonderful job on the Houses. I love the way you used the the darker color in the windows.
ReplyDeleteHouses looks beautiful! Did you HAVE to show me those beautiful Belle Soie silks lined up so nicely on the black?? Ack. I am trying so hard to not buy anything for a little while, at least, but then you must taunt us with that beautiful pic. But, I do love Rubie's Owl, too, so...
ReplyDeleteYay on your HoHRH! Looking good! I love Miss Lila's House too. I may have to go for the Belle Soie conversion too. Sigh. Can't wait to hear if you start her!
ReplyDeleteGo, Nicole! It looks great - and it reminded me of my VoHRH wip ;-)
ReplyDeleteyou have to love the conversions that Jean at the Attic does. she is great with conversions and almost always uses the Belle Soie. LOL If you ever make it out this way, you need to go to the Attic.
ReplyDeleteI would still consider that an April finish though, it's only 12 minutes. LOL
Lovely stitching as always, Nicole. I think you should start the owl design by PSS.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I would say April 30 - we won't tell. :D
You beat me! LOL! I won't finish my #4 until the weekend. Your's is looking great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see in your house:)
Do you have a lot of your pieces hanging or are you giving some as gifts?
It's so much fun to finish each of those blocks.
ReplyDeleteMiss Lila has been calling me from my WIP basket, so I need to devote some time to her. Love the conversion colors.
Congrats on your finish! I can't wait to see your next start.
ReplyDeleteGood job finishing the block, even if your were 12mins late LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the four houses - you go girl!!!
ReplyDeleteI got Miss Lila's House several months ago from Attic Needleworks but don't have the fabric or threads for it yet. Isn't is pretty? I love your HOHRH progress! The DMC threads are really pretty and I didn't realize you were using those. That is great since they don't cost as much as silk but still look this nice!! Congrats on getting your goal accomplished!
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never is what they say! I still consider (in my warped way of thinking) that you made it on time - whose up at that hour to check, right?). Your block looks great and I like the color changes you made to it!
ReplyDeleteWhat you really mean to say is you want to FINISH something. lol What's it been since your last finish... an hour?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual... and you are entitled to a new start -- how else am I going to get my finishing-fix?
Your looking are looking awfully pretty! I want to stitch this design one day. Your silks along that fabric- gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the fourth house. It is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the windows in your houses! Beautiful stitching.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm seeing lots of silk floss in my blog reading tonight. I can just feel the softness, love the way it glows. Bet you guessed I love silk. :D
ReplyDeleteHoHRH is looking awesome!! You are making fantastic progress!
ReplyDeleteHouses is looking great! I really love the colors in Rubie Owl but haven't started it yet.
ReplyDeleteLove your houses! I so want to get started on my Village but not until I finish my mini-redecorating project :-). I have stitched in a few days and I am having withdrawals.
ReplyDeleteHouses is so gorgeous! I so want to stitch this! Soon.....
ReplyDeleteLove your HoHRH! It's so pretty. Can'tw ait to see your start on Lila :-).
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, your Houses. Each time I see yours I want to continue stitching on mine. Soon, soon, there's just one exchange left to finish.
ReplyDeleteKarin's Miss Lila on Siena Night looks terrific, so I'm looking forward to what fabric you will be choosing.
Yippee, it looks great, Nicole. Each block is such an accomplishment. I love Miss Lila. The Attic's model is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYour Houses look great! I'm glad you are using DMC on them - the colors just look so clear and pretty.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your progress on Miss Lila's House. It's another fantastic design!
Have fun!
In central time, you would have made the midnight deadline! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing another block - it's really lovely!
