This Has Been Challenging
I'm participating in year long challenges with both the duClay EGA chapter in Jacksonville, FL and my local guild, Delaware Valley Historic Sampler Guild ( dvhsg.org ). The challenges are similar since both allowed participants to choose up to a specified number of pieces to focus on during the year, and prizes may be awarded for completion. Delaware Inspiration from Heart's Ease Examplar Workes is my main focus piece this year. Here's where I was a week ago. Notice the vines and leaves on the upper right? They have been ripped out and re-stitched twice, both times because I was off by one vertical thread. The frogs have been banished from my house and this is where I was as of last night. I'm using the Belle Soie silks called for in the chart, and the colors are amazing.
Very pretty sampler....hope you make great progress!
ReplyDeleteI just love this sampler! Yours is gorgeous! I will root for you -- go go go!
ReplyDeleteI love when I double dip, whether personally or at work - like faxing while copies are running...and with projects! Beautiful sampler and look forward to seeing the progress!
ReplyDeleteSusan, it is just beautiful! Moira does the most wonderful designs. Cheering you on to the last stitch!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will tame it. One stitch at a time and you will cross the finish line before you know it.
