Amy and I are thinking of doing a mini SAL. We both would like to stitch "A Sweeter Love" by Plum Street Samplers. When that will be? Neither of us are sure, but I know we both like to look at the silks and dream. :) I pulled the NPI and linen I'm thinking of using. It's 40 ct. Vintage Homespun. I've been saving it for that perfect project. :)
I have some more dk green silk to finish "The Riddle," so I guess I really should get back to it. I'm just loving "Finch Song" right now, so it may have wait a while. :) Write soon!
Edited to add: I'm using CythinaC's alternative lettering that she designed for Finch Song. Click here for a link. She does great lettering. Thanks Cindy!! :)
Sorry Nicole, I had a typo on my first post and deleted it. Your Finch Song is so pretty and I agree, the fabric you chose is so lovely and looks wonderful! I love your Plum Street Sampler A Sweeter Love with all of those yummy colors! You have lots to keep you really interested in stitching! Very pretty!!
ReplyDeletei still can't get over how fast a stitcher you are girl!
ReplyDeleteFinch Song is looking great already! and can't wait to see the rest of the Riddle!
Finch Song is beautiful. I'm gonna try to control myself and not rush out to buy it.
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing that you're a bottom-to-top stitcher sometimes, and a top-to-bottom stitcher other times. I'm so left-brained that I never thought of starting at the bottom. Looks like it could be fun.
Those are such pretties projects! And wow, you go fast with your needles.
ReplyDeleteVery nice start, I think the French Vanilla linen looks great. Beautiful silks for the SAL piece, but I can't wait to see your Riddle finish. CJ ok;-)
ReplyDeleteWell I think by Friday we'll be congratulating you on another FABULOUS finish :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I love this one so much! And I like Cindy's lettering better too. Love the colors on Paulette's piece too! Hope you get back to the Riddle sometime, but I know how it is when another project grabs you. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat start Nicole! Mine is still in the original organza bag we received from the Retreat! I want to stitch A Sweeter Love too. I have the chart, just haven't done anything about it! Do finish the Riddle! You won't be sorry! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new start on Finch Song! You are such a fast stitcher. I'm so jealous of all your projects. I like Cindy's lettering too and use it almost exclusively now.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteI love your start on Finch Song. It is beautiful. And I love the lettering. I am going to have to bookmark that should I ever stitch this. I like the Vintage Homespun for A Sweeter Love. Those silks and fabric look gorgeous together! :)
Oh man, now I really want to start mine too! You are a bad influence ;-). Love the floss toss on the other piece too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty new project! And, like everyone else, I am amazed at how much stitching you are able to complete (ok, and maybe a little envious :-) )
ReplyDeleteI think I would be interested in the SAL. A Sweeter Love is one that is on my list (all of Paulette's are). Keep me posted, please!
Enjoy your evening.
Cari
Very pretty progress on Finch Song, Nicole! The colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is always a feast for the eyes! Finch Song is beautiful; can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteFinch Song is so pretty! I will be looking forward to each installment but since you stitch so fast, it may only be 1 or 2 more before you're done!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours for A Sweeter Love. I hope you start soon so I can see it bloom! :-)
Isn't your Finch Song so pretty! I'm glad you went with the fabric you did as the colors look great on it.
ReplyDeleteOooo - all those pretty NPIs! Looking forward to that start, too!
The SB kit is just beautiful-your stitching is coming along quickly! I've not seen that kit yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat start - you are such a fast stitcher!
ReplyDeleteLove your new start and I agree with the choice of sticking with the French Vanilla linen, the colours are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am in love just looking at the pic of the floss toss for your SAL, be still my heart!
I look forward to seeing your next update.
Have a great week x
Very beautiful start! :)
ReplyDeleteFinch Songs' looking gorgepus, Nicole. I still get amazed at how fast you stitch things. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the spelling error. I wasn't trying to come up with a new word. Gorgepus could become a new word though - has a good ring to it (and a little funny!). Sorry, I'll go now.
