Gentle Friends I am so happy that you enjoyed my little "walk" through my neighborhood. That was only the first few blocks, it goes on quite a ways, down into the Mission... so there will be more "walks" to come.
Over the weekend I finished up Miss Elizabeth - here's a snap... sorry it has such a blue cast to it, this was taken with daylight streaming in....
Scarlet Letter - "Elizabeth Sheppard - 1820"
LL 36ct Vintage Magnolia
2/23/13 - 4/27/13
Converted DMC 3803,934 & 3031 to
Gloriana "Dried Pink Roses," Elizabethan Green" and Belle Soie "Briar Patch"
You can see I decided to leave off her name and original date and put in my initials and this year. It was a really fun piece to stitch and I really took my time and enjoyed the work.
I did start something else but at the moment I am less that thrilled with the linen I am using and will probably switch it out for something else... I am waffling between a light vintage and a great piece of meadowlark..... I think just writing that I have made my decision... I'll get a snap up in the morning.
Thanks for stopping by, do stop again.
Take care,
edgar
Absolutely Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteMiss Elizabeth looks wonderful. I love the fact that you put your own initials and current date on it. This is something that I am thinking about doing on my Mary Wigham, whenever I get to that point. I look forward to seeing a snap of your new project!

ReplyDeleteNice...lovely finish and beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty now its completed.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish, I often use my own initials...hey why not they are going on there anyway. Isn't the next start always problematic, It is either the fabric or the first counting ( start) I always make a mistake until I get going....
ReplyDeleteLove it! I started something Quaker myself but mine is more green.
