Spring Break

I'm down in Florida visiting family. I got a little bit of stitching done last night after we arrived. I finally finished filling in the clouds on Paradise Lost...

Paradise Lost as 4/2/10
40 ct. Vintage Light Examplar, NPI silks (1 over 2).

And I got the border finished on Sarah Woodham earlier in the week. Unfortunately, I also had to do a lot of frogging, but I'm finally back on track now.

Sarah Woodham as of 4/2/10

I worked on a couple motifs last night...

Sarah Woodham
40 ct Vintage Pearled Barley, Various silk threads (1 over 2).

I hope to work on Sarah Woodham a little more while I'm here, or I may start a BBD design that's on 30 ct. A little easier to see since I don't have my big daylight stitching light down here.

Well, hope you all have a very happy Easter! Write soon!

  4. This looks really good!!!
    Love Paradise Lost and the new start is quite a good progress.
    I myself find getting the border done is half the hardest part. I've frogged many a border.
    But it's looking beautiful, Nicole!

  7. Hope that you have a wonderful Easter with your family! PL is looking wonderful, and I love Sarah Woodham too. Sorry about the frogging - borders seem to be a calling card for frogs I think.
