I went up to Amy's for a day of stitching and chatting yesterday. It was so nice to get away! I worked on Christmas Garden while I was there.
40 ct. Vintage Lt. Examplar, CC & GAST (1 over 2)
Earlier in the week I worked on Elizabeth Mears.
I'm now working on the eyelet alphabet row...
40 ct. Vintage Meadow Rue, NPI (1 over 2)
And last, but not least, I got a little bit of stash while at Amys. I couldn't resist getting another fat 1/4 of the pretty dye-lot of Vintage Lt. Examplar that I'm using for Christmas Garden.
I can't wait to stitch this sweet little Adam & Eve design by Little House...
Well, next week is going to be very busy. The kids have field trips, egg hunts and dentist appointments. We are also going to be heading down to Florida on Thursday for spring break. We'll be down there for over a week, so I'll post when I can. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your families and friends.
Wonderful stitches and stash!

Happy Easter Nicole! Enjoy your spring break. Fabulous progress on both of your samplers! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Adam and Eve design.
Your Christmas Garden is looking so pretty! Nice stash too. I'm too mad at LHN for splitting up the A&E from the rest of the design and not reproducting the whole thing as is to want to touch that one. lol! Have a great Easter!
ReplyDeleteLovely progress Nichole!! Enjoy your time away & Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteGreat that you got to spend time with Amy. Your stitching is looking beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful progress!
ReplyDeleteYour Elizabeth Mears Looks fantastic.

Lovely progress on both pieces - Elizabeth is really spectacular!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress! I'm so happy to see your pieces growing. Hum...our stash is so similar... Have a great spring break!
ReplyDeleteWhat nice progress you've made. Love the new stash too. Be well and be safe on your tip. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteBoth samplers are gorgeous and I love your new stash.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas Garden is so pretty, Nicole! You've made good progress on it.
ReplyDeleteI love your Elizabeth Mears! She is so pretty. You don't have too much more to do.
Great new stash, too.
Your progress looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove how your Christmas Garden is coming along. And the more I see of Elizabeth, the more I fall in love with her - she's gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon, Nicole...I have a quick question...for Christmas Garden are you creating a full x stitch with the week dye works threads? I love the look of yours, but when I do this...I can never really tell the difference on my work. Thanks for your advice...
ReplyDeleteWOW! Nicole your needlework rocks.
ReplyDeleteThey're both looking lovely, great progress.
ReplyDeleteNice stash
I love both of those samplers, but I especially love that eyelet alphabet! So delicate and pretty!! Great stash enhancement too!!
ReplyDeleteabsolument merveilleux !
ReplyDeletevery beautiful,
bisous, marylin
I love your blog. I have been debating doing the BB Design Anniversary Sampler. I have some questions for you. How did you decide on 40 ct. over 30 ct.? I am concerned with the effect of going from 2 threads to 1. I love the look of 40 ct. but when I did the old BB Design "Autumn Bouquet" I wasn't so sure it was as vibrant with only 1 thread. From the photos I really? You have stitched so many beautiful pieces. Nancy in WI
ReplyDeleteNicole, I hope you and your family had a nice easter. The eyelet alphabet on Elizabeth Mears is darling.
ReplyDeleteyou have some gorgeous WIPs!
ReplyDeleteLove to see your progress. Wonderful projects you have going.
