Last night I moved on to Square one and finished the border and started in on the verse.
Here is a snap of the progress -
I think this square will move along really quick.
The mailman brought me an order from Drema with a couple of charts -
I just really fell for the "Home is Where you hang your Needlework." Workbasket charts how can I resist - "Quilt Border" is a real knockout as a pattern - it is the pale colours that I don't care for - I will need to refigure the colour combo and rechart them
- but when that will happen who knows....
Also in the order was the floss for "Memorial Sampler."
The colours are great and now I need to figure out on which linen to do this on et voila another project awaiting the needle!!
The movie last night was "The Purple Heart" - 1944 - made during the war.... it is a basic propaganda film built on a truth as it was then known - The story is about a mock trial for a group of downed B-25 airmen from the Doolittle raid over mainland Japan. Very interesting movie staring in the lead roll Dana Andrews who does a really good job!!
I remembered the info for yesterdays Redwork exchange piece. The design with the owls and rabbits is from a new French book called "Amities Croisees. The other side design is a free chart from French blogger Dany, who does some really gorgeous work.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Take care,

Great start on square 1 and great new stash! When are you ever going to get all of them stitched!! LOL The colors are so yummy for the Memorial Sampler.
ReplyDeleteGreat start Edgar.
ReplyDeleteI went to Dany's blog looking for the free chart (which I couldn't find) but wow what wonderful stitching, finishing and photographs - thanks for the link!
HRH is looking great! I am so jealous about your order! I have Memorial Sampler and the Home sampler by Homespun Elegance on my next order to be placed!
ReplyDeleteWhat great new stash. What is the small chart with the little house ornament?
ReplyDeleteAhh those French books and magazines. I so want to get some.
