I'm stitching up a storm! I finished everything but the background on the Adam and Eve sampler yesterday, and am almost done with the detail of a sampler from Pamela Warner's excellent Miniature embroidery for the Georgian dolls' house. (I wanted to make good use of the bit of silk gauze I was using for the Adam and Eve sampler, so this one is also on 40 ct.)
It's a very pretty piece, sprigged with potted plants, and featuring a Georgian house. The original was signed Sarah Stuart, 1798. I've changed some of the colours, and I'm very pleased with it!
I want to have a few pieces to take with me on a business trip I have next week, so I can just stitch background and not have to worry about counting a chart :)
Happy Christmas! I’ve had time to do some festive cross stitch!

Each New Year, I plan out how many stitching projects I think I’ll be able
to fit in during the coming year. Each year, I overestimate enormously!!

ReplyDeleteYou ARE stitching up a storm!
I didn't realise that it was a different post on my blog list - you certainly have the sampler stitching bug! It's looking good - your stitches are so neat!
