And here's the little bit I did last night...
I'm stitching it on 32 ct. Natural linen using NPI and Gloriana silks. I'm not thrilled with the linen, but there is no way I would start over because of all the work I've already done.
Another Drawn Thread that I've had for a long time that I'm thinking of stitching in the future is "Real Roses." I have always loved this one. I went through my fabric and found a pretty piece of 32 ct. Vintage Bisque by Lakeside Linens that I think will work for it.
I forgot to mention that I went to Amy's again on Saturday. We had so much fun as always. Here is some stash I got at Down Sunshine Lane when I was there...
I really can't wait to start the Shepherd's Bush kit "Home." It's so sweet!
Well, I think I'm going to be heading back down to Florida tomorrow to get my older boys. I was going to wait until the weekend, but I miss them so much! I can't wait to see them! :) I will be without internet until I get back Saturday, so I'll update next week. Write Then! :)
"Real Roses" is one of my favorite Drawn Thread pieces. I stitched it a number of years ago, and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI have "Marriage of Minds" in my stash, but haven't started. Seeing your start has got me itching to get mine out and start it, too! I can't wait to see your progress on this one.
Love the 'Marriage of Minds' Nicole - it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat stash haul!
Marriage of the Minds is really beautiful Nicole! Love all your new stash too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely UFO! I can't wait to see this one all finished! I'm no familiar with this design as it predates my stitching :)

Beautiful, Nicole! I stitched TMoM a few years ago and it's one of my favorite stitches--now that it's done. I hate all that green but Cynthia ties it up so nicely with other colors thrown in that all her samplers are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip down to get the boys, and back! We'll miss you!
Love the WIP and the new stash! I adore that patriotic scenes one--and the new SB too. Glad to see you are finishing Marriage of the Minds. I have never seen that one before!
ReplyDeleteMarriage of the Minds is beautiful! I bet we will see a finish in no time with your smoking needles. :) I love all the stash. I have a couple of those on my "soon to buy" list as well. We seem to have very similar tastes. :) Have a safe fun trip to Florida.

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog and that after a long day at the office, this virtual visit with you is a bright spot in my day.
Marriage of Minds is so pretty. I tend to love everything you stitch.
I love both of those Drawn Thread pieces. Nice to try to finish off an old UFO. That SB sheepie is cute too!
