Two New Starts!

I'm really going to try to be a better blogger and post more!  My first new start is "I Sigh Not for Beauty."  I really fell in love with sampler after seeing Cathy B's finished sampler.

I'm using a combination of Belle Soie and NPI silks.  The fabric is 35 ct. Straw linen by Weeks Dye Works.

I also decided to start "Isabella Fox."  I saw Cari's sampler when we met up in Florida and fell in love!  It's so gorgeous!!

    Oh, now I'm interested in "I Sigh Not for Beauty." I'm working on Isabella, but I am using the charted cotton threads. Unfortunately, every time I pick it up I wish I had used silk. I'm looking forward to watching yours!
