I got the house finished up. Paulette also told me about a chart error. The inside of the windows are charted for the dark brown, but they are actually supposed to be ecru.
I also worked on Mary Wigham last night. I decided to rip out the light green motif. I decided that I wanted it to be a little more darker - like the picture.
The green I originally stitched it with was CC Joshua Tree, this green is WDW Kudzu. I hope it will look ok!
Matthew caught a stomach bug, so I was up with him all night. He is just miserable! I'm hoping I don't get it because I'm supposed to go stitching at Amy's again tomorrow. She's got lots of new thing in at Down Sunshine Lane that I can't wait to see in person! Well, wish me luck that I don't get it! Write soon!
Your progress is just beautiful and I love Kudzu in your quaker project! Sorry you had to frog out the light green but I love the change here. I am going to stitch today. I missed not doing it yesterday! I hope Matthew gets better and I really really hope you don't get his flu! Have fun at Amy's and tell her hi too. When she gets the new LHN. I am going to order from her as my LNS won't have them forever!! Have a good stitchy day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects! I love that you aren't afraid to redo things that don't strike you or start a whole project over to make it perfect as you want it. I should be so bold :)
ReplyDeletegentle {{{hugs}}} to Matthew - I hope he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou're making great progress on both your pieces - I really love the quaker piece. Every time I see yours, I want to rush out and buy this chart!
Your WIPs look great, Nicole! I sure hope you don't get the stomach bug. Poor Matthew -- what a bummer! :( I hope it's just a 24 hour thing and he's all better soon.
ReplyDeleteBitB is looking great I love the color of the house. And the green you chose for Mary I like the darker color.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that Matthew feels better and you steer clear of it because I want to see what you get at Amy's :)
Take care and enjoy your weekend.
on both projects. Seeing you stitch MW is inspiring me to start my own. Hope Matthew feels better and have fun at Amy's!
ReplyDeleteYour progress on both of your pieces is wonderful! Fingers crossed that you don't get the bug too. There is so much going around now (my DD had some bronchial thing). Hope you have some great stitching time at Amy's! Can't wait to see what stash you may bring home.
ReplyDeleteThe Kudzu sub you made on Mary looks just fine and I love your progress on BitB! Hope you don't catch Matthew's bug and I hope he's feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I was thinking the same thing and got some Kudzu yesterday when I went to my LNS. I also got a few different blues for the 924 substitution too :-).
ReplyDeleteHope you get to go to Amy's tomorrow and Matthew feels much better.
You are really coming along on your projects. Both are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like the thread change.
I hope Matthew is feeling better and you don't get sick.
Right on with the Kudzu! Take care of that cute Matthew and don't get his bug! Love all your starts!
ReplyDeleteOh - gorgeous stitching as usual! Both are looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI hope Matthew feels better so and so then will you!
Of course, both are gorgeous! Really beautiful Nicole!
ReplyDeleteThe new Plum Street looks great - her projects are so fun to stitch. And of course, you know I love your MW.
ReplyDeleteI hope Matthew is feeling much better.
ALL your stitching is looking awesome and gorgeous. Hope you don't get the bug. The kudzu looks
ReplyDeletefab.
Beautiful progress on "BitB" and Mary!! Love the personalization on Bird!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you are using for Mary could you give us color sub challengened ladies a list of the colors you are using? Your work is always so wonderful and I can't believe that you do so much of it on 40ct. Have a great day. GB

ReplyDeleteBoth projects look terrific. I'm with you on the green colour. The darker green looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteI hope Matthew is getting better by now.
Love both your wips and love the colours on Mary! xx
ReplyDeleteI hope Matthew is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThe Kudzu looks great. Your BitB is fabulous!! Seeing your WIP makes me itch to stitch it! Have a great weekend--I hope you do get to go down to Amy's!
Nicole,
ReplyDeleteYour Mary is coming along so very nicely! Keep up the good work!
Nicole, your WIP photos are always so beautiful. Both of these are just stunning. I always love the color choices on Paulette's designs ~ so rich. Somehow you capture them so well with your camera! And I love the way Mary is coming along. That is a gorgeous conversion!

I think the Kudzu will work just fine in your palette for MW, Nicole. I just love your progress on Bird in the Bower, I have loved this piece, since it was released too. Just wish I had more stitching time. Course now, if I could just stitch faster, that would help. LOL
ReplyDeleteHope your Matthew feels better and you didn't come down with it!
They both look lovely, great progress
