Happy March! It's been tough getting much stitching time these last couple of weeks. This weekend I was blessed with nothing much to do so I parked myself in my little corner and stitched away! My needle was moving in and out of the fabric as fast as I could make it go!
First up is my 12th Crazy January Challenge finish for the year! Isn't that little black bear cute!?!
I was getting a little bored with ornament stitching, so I started a new project that was calling my name! Here is my start on a lovely little sampler by Homespun Elegance...
This sampler is small and should work up quickly. I must say that the linen feels so rich and is a joy for stitching. The verse on this sampler says "There is a garden where memories grow of people we loved so." This is a special sampler for sure.
There were so many beautiful new designs coming out of the Nashville Show that I just had to enjoy a little Stash Enhancement Therapy! Here is one that came in the mail on Friday!
Isn't she beautiful!?! I just couldn't resist this sampler nor could I wait to get started on her! Here is the progress I made on her Saturday Night...
I love the shades of pinks in this sampler! The dove reminds me of the morning doves that frequent my yard. They are such lovely and gentle birds and their cooing is such a nice sound.
Well, that's all I got done this weekend. All in all I am pleased with my progress. Hopefully there will be more progress to post about in the next few days!
Blessings and Happy Stitching!
