A Little Stitchin'

Gentle Freinds, here's a snap of where I'm at on MFV...

... I've not really changed much as I've stitch along.... except, and you knew there'd be an exception... is the little heart I stitched to dot the "I" in the word comic.  It's a really fun piece to work on...and now that I'm at the last third of this piece I'm thinking what might be the next piece to work on...not too sure.  :)

A Little Stitching Finish and Start

Gentle Friends, over the weekend I finished up Hannah and here's a snaperoo...

Timeless Designs "Hannah Beeby 1816" Sampler

April 7 - June 2, 2018

Gloriana Silks "Seaweed" and "Antique Gold Dark"

36ct Vintage Nameless Linen

Sorry about the snap I had trouble with the way it was lit.  The linen isn't faded at the bottom ..... This was a great piece to stitch and in stitching this piece I was reminded why I so enjoyed stitching Quakers... I did work in the missed stitches and evened up some of the edges as I went along because some of them here just driving me crazy.  I also reworked the name line with my initials, city, and date.  I stitched "6 mos" like on Hannah's indicating June - so I kept that little thing - other than that It looks very much like the original.

I already had kitted up another project since I was so close to the end of Hannah....

Heartstring Samplery "My Funny Valentine"

It's "My Funny Valentine" ( to be referred to as MFV in future posts) and I am stitching it on the end of the piece I just stitched "Hannah."  That piece of linen was a weird shape and this stitch will use up all I have - It was a nice piece of linen and I've really enjoyed working with it, just wish I knew exactly what it was???.....  The original piece was stitched using a red GAST floss but I really like this shade of red by WDW called "Lancaster Red" so I went with what I like... and I have a few skeins from the same dye lot so I'll not run out as I stitch along!!
