40 ct. Fawn by LL, DMC threads (1 over 2).
I'm still loving it!
I also decided to start something new (having my own belated January challenge). :) I decided to start "Rose Quaker Sampler" by Wiehenburg. I was going to use NPI, but ended up going with DMC because I wanted to make sure I had enough and not have to worry about dye-lots.
40 ct. Vintage Magnolia by LL, DMC threads (1 over 2).
Another goal for 2011 that I have set for myself is to stitch an ornament a month. I realized when putting my ornaments on the tree last year that I only had a couple stitched by me. So the first ornament I want to stitch is "Souvenir of Paris" by Blackbird Designs.
30 ct. St. Valentine's Blend by R&R, GAST and WDW threads.
It's all kitted up and ready to go! Can't wait to get started! I plan to use Vonna's Tutorial to do the finishing myself. Wish me luck! :)
Write soon!

Margaret is coming along nicely. Beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteRose Quaker Sampler is quite the challenge. I can't wait to see your progress as you stitch.
I had set today aside for a whole day of stitching but alas...it is noon and I haven't picked my needle up yet! I have been blog cruising and baking sweet rolls...YUMMY on both accounts!
Gorgeous...love them all!
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitchin'

Nicole, I just love your blog. You so inspire me. I don't know how many times I have started at the first entry and re-read the whole thing. I could look at your stitching for hours. How many pieces do you have started? I just started my own blog.

ReplyDeleteI just started Isabella Johnstone 1854 last night and I am already addicted! Can't wait to get home from work to stitch on it!
Margaret is looking great! Oh no, you started Rose Quaker. That means my resolve will probably break. I've loved it since it came out! Beautiful start. Good luck with your BBD stocking!
ReplyDeleteYeah, what Amy said. ;) I can practically hear your needle humming all the way over in Alabama. lol Everything's gorgeous, Nicole, as always. I may need to shop for that Quaker Rose....

Margaret is looking wonderful Nicole, such lovely cheerful colours! I'm contemplating a new start too, although I really should finish my current WIP first, as it'll only take another day or so ;)
