I got this block finished up last night. I'm really happy with how it turned out!
40 ct. Meadow Rue, various cotton over-dyed threads.
I decided to start something new today! It's the Birds of a Feather mystery sampler by With Thy Needle & Thread.
I decided to stitch it on what I think is 40 ct. Lentil by Lakeside Linens. It could be an older dye-lot of Pearled Barley, but I'm pretty sure it's Lentil. :)
The kids only have one more week of school (three days actually) and then our get together in Manning is next Saturday (can't wait for that)!! The next day we'll be headed down to Florida for a few weeks, so my posting may be sporadic. Write when I can!
A prettily finished block! Isn't it fun to start something new!

ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely! I started my Mystery on Cafe Aulait, but alas, a miscount and the piece is too small...after frogging last night, starting over on 36 Lentil today.

I just love seeing the finished of the AoTH series. Also, love that you got started on the mystery sampler. Lentil looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour finish looks great! I have the mystery sampler as well, but haven't started it yet. I wish things had worked out so that I could have joined you girls on the 4th, but sadly I have to work. :( Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finish!!!! Love your AotH and the mystery sampler is so pretty on the linen.
