I decided to start Margaret Cottam after I finished Mary Roe. I only stitched a little bit because I wasn't sure if I was liking the linen I chose for it. It's much lighter than the called for linen.

After stitching a motif, I think I'm going to like it. I also worked on Ann Priest a little bit...

My early birthday/Christmas present is the new iPad. My kids had pretty much taken over my old iPad and I really missed having one all to myself. So my very sweet dh took me shopping today. My birthday is still weeks away, but I wanted something for when I go to Myrtle Beach. I'm so happy with it!
Speaking of Myrtle Beach - I leave in only six days now! I can't wait!!

Looks beautiful so far. I like the linen color. Can't wait to see it done!
ReplyDeleteLove those colors with that linen color!
ReplyDeleteI think that the linen is great for Margaret! I'm suppose to be doing that for a Guild SAL and I was on the fence about what fabric to use, but I like yours and think I will go with that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new Ipad! I love mine and wonder how I got along without it!!
I love your Margaret on that linen! Making me want to start stitching it too. I had given up on Mary Roe - but after seeing your finished piece, I got it right back out! I want an I-Pad soooo badly! But the chances of me getting one are slim and really none! ha!
