New Start?

I was thinking since it's my birthday today - I might start something new. But what???

The first thing I was thinking of was Rubie Owl's Sampler. I have had this kitted since last year...

Plum Street Samplers "Rubie Owl's Sampler"
40 ct Vintage Sand Dune, NPI and Belle Soie Silks


The next thing I was thinking of is "Quaker Diamonds." Check out Coni's beautiful finish if you haven't done so already!!


40 ct. Legacy by Picture this Plus, Valdani threads.


Another one I have loved since Tanya (Scarlett House) finished it last year is Plantation Sampler (I even asked for her conversion)!

Plantation Sampler
40 ct. Vintage Maritime White by Lakeside Linens, DMC and NPI.


And the last sampler I'm thinking of is "Where my Heart Blooms." I've had this one kitted forever too.

Where my Heart Blooms
32 ct. Legacy by Picture this Plus, GAST and WDW.


Hmm... Decisions, decisions! Well, even if I decide not start one today I still had fun playing in my stash! :) I have a lot to be thankful for today. My beautiful family, my health and my stash! :)

    Nicole,
    I hope your birthday is wraped in miles of smiles, have a funtastic day.

    You sure do have some serious choices to make LOL I love them all so I am not much help.

    I would like to ask you a question. I have Plantation Sampler but I hate the conversion I picked, maybe its the fabric along side the colors that make it look terrible. Would you please share your conversion? I would appreciate it :)

    Thank you

    Happy Birthday! I sort of thought Quaker Diamonds sounded good! Enjoy your day. Don't forget that if it's your birthday cake - there are no calories!

    Happy Day, Sweetie!!! What a year of accomplishments for you, Nicole. I'm so proud you're my friend. Can't wait until you move back down here again.
    I thought you had started Plantation Sampler last year. So, I'm surprised, and I vote that you start that one, absolutely~positively! I have bits of mine done, and maybe I can be inspired to stitch on it again with you.

    Sending birthday hugs and love,
    Deb
