I am stitching it on 40 ct. Vintage Light Examplar using Needlepoint Inc. Silks. The NPI are definitely my favorite thread to stitch with lately. I would love to have a whole set.... one day.... I can dream right?? :)
This design is like chocolate for me. I don't want it to end! I love everything about it!
Well, going to get back to stitching and listening to my new favorite series of books - The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. They are so good! I wasn't so sure about them after I read the first one, but I decided to give the next one a try and the next one and now I'm hooked! Write soon!
mmmm, love the colors of Bird in the Bower! Yummy! NPI are my favorite silks also and it has to be on 40 count linen - there's nothing better to stitch with!
ReplyDeleteOh my~ that is just so incredibly gorgeous! Love, love, love! I need to get it now. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and I love it!Nicole, you did it again :)))))... ones again I would really make new start :))))... but... to much WiPs right now...
ReplyDeleteWhoops you did it again! :)

It's already gorgeous Nicole! I love this design and the fabric and threads you are using are just scrumptious!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Great start, Nicole! I really love this design, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are enjoying the Sookie series. I'm about halfway through reading the series on my Kindle. :)
Gorgeous new start Nicole!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI can always be sure YOU will enable me to stitch things I'd never really thought about!!! Lovely Birds in the Bower!
ReplyDeleteWill check out your reading recommendation and look forward to the next installment of your stitching!
Sookie is my favorite not real person. I started reading that series 6 years ago or so and I look forward to each and every new release.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! The colors are stunning!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful new start...just looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI love your Bird in the Bower. I liked it when it came out, but seeing it being stitched makes me like it even more. And I am right there with you on the NPI silks. Love those!! I could easily stitch with only those. :) I've read the first Sookie book and thought, ehhhh. So they get better?? I have the next two. Maybe listening to them is the key. Did you know there is a series on HBO called True Blood that is based on this series of books? I haven't watched it yet. My friend said the first series season covers the first three books and I have only read one. :)
I'm off to add Bird in the Bower to my list of designs to purchase eventually. :) Have a good day!!
Nicole, your new start is great. I like that pattern too.
ReplyDeleteI've read the first Sookie Sackhouse book too, and have the next one at home on my shelf of books ready to read.... I always have at least 6 home from the library at any given time.
Have you watched True Blood on HBO? I've seen a couple of episodes. It's based on the books...
Happy reading, and stitching!
GOR-GEE-OUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat new start, Nicole!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent!!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching as always.
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to Sookie books too.
Happy Stitching,
Annette
Beautiful! The colors are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start!
ReplyDeleteGreat new start, I am thinking of starting the handworke sampler by plum street soon - love her designs. Huge fan of Sookie here too - enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this design as well! It's looking so pretty. I wish I had every NPI color as well -- wouldn't that be wonderful? I'd actually be happy having a full set of anything. Even DMC!
ReplyDeleteI love those trees. I'm going to have to do that one, too.
ReplyDeleteyou have such beautiful work
ReplyDeleteoh what a great start!!!
