Another Finish!

I was looking for some threads yesterday and came across Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler. I realized I didn't have much left to stitch on it, so I decided to finish it up.

Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler Finished!!
Shakespeare's Peddler "Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler"
Fabric: 40 ct. Maple Sugar by Lakeside Linens
Threads: GAST (1 over 2)
Started: 11/21/09 - Finished: 2/28/10

I also got some market stash from Down Sunshine Lane yesterday (with more to come on Monday). :)

Market Stash!


I plan to stitch the BBD houses on one piece of fabric. I think I'm going to go with 40 ct. Pearled Barley.

Threads for Anniversary Houses

Here are the threads for the first two houses. If you click here you can see Pat Ryan's (R&R Reproductions) start on them (scroll down). Now I have to decide if I'm going to be good and get back to Sarah Woodham or if I'm going to be bad and start on these houses! :) Write soon!

    Definitely be bad! Jenny Bean is so pretty, and it's such a good photo that I can see all the little snowflakes! Lovely stash. How large a piece of Lakeside did you need for the houses?

    Nicole, you are such an inspiration...and all these big projects you get finished. I would love to see your house and how you display them. Jenny Bean is gorgeous - and on 40ct. Wow! I do have that pattern and need to make sure it is a WIP soon. And your Christmas of HRH is a great finish too. Lovely stitching. pj

    Of course you have to be bad... your fans can't wait to see the house stitched on your Pearled Barley linen.

    Beautiful finish! You're so good about actually finishing things. I love your stash too -- you have good taste! :D The threads for the BBD houses look nice on that fabric. I'm hoping to find a piece of Olde Towne Blend, I think. I think. :D

    Another lovely finish Nicole! We have such similar tastes in charts - I have 3 of your Nashville charts on the way, including Snow Garden. I'm thinking of using V. Pearled Barley for mine, can't wait to get it!

    Be bad... I love those BBD houses and can't wait to see someone stitching them before I cave and get them myself. I think BBD had such great designs at this year's market.

    Jenny Bean looks great! Congrats on your finish!

    Nicole, you post so often that I get behind in commenting on all you accomplish. Love the JB finish and all of your framed pieces look super. I'm glad to see that you're doing the framing yourself. I'm proud of you.

    I love Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler and your stitching is really beautiful! I would be bad if I were you! Stitch things as you want to! I love all the progress you have made lately! I don't know how you do it!!

    I love your JB finish - I just bought that pattern this past weekend at my LNS.
    I have a question about your WIP and finish pics. How do you get the fabric so smooth? Do you stitch your projects on a scroll frame? All my WIPS, etc. are so wrinkled when I try to take an update pic. Thx, Sue

    Wow, that's 2 wonderful Christmas finishes you've done already! You're on your way to great decorations this year!

    Love your stash, and I look forward to seeing you stitch the BBD ones on one linen. I've been thinking of that myself...

    OMG; I like each image in this blog better than the last! Your floss tosses can't be beat, Nicole! You first showed of your JBXMas a little after I'd ordered mine, and boy did it light a fire under me! Unfortunately, I'm such a slow-burning wood that I have yet to put needle to fabric!

    I, too, want that Elizabeth I from PSS and then there's that Snow Garden; I've been thinking how the cover doesn't show it to best advantage, and the linen Pat Ryan's working it on is a real triple-take beauty! Can't wait to see yours; hope to see more of hers, too!

    Lovely finish! I'm sure you'll have a great frame for it too!

    I'm jealous of your stash! And you have the newest Plum Street Samplers! Aren't they lovely?

    Thanks for sharing your finish with us!

    Love your finish! I really need to start this one. I loved JB Halloween so much, how can I resist Christmas??? And you got some excellent stash there! Love your choice for the Anniversaries of the Heart. I think I'm going to go with 40ct on all one piece too.
