A Little Stitchy Start

Gentle Friends, after finishing up Sarah, I had a couple of things I was waffling about starting and finally decided on....

"Fragments in Time - Sampler Motifs" by Summer House Stitche Workes
36ct Barn owl - Using the called for GAST Floss
I got busy with the border and am really enjoying the limited palette - it seems to be stitching up quickly so I'll need to start thinking about what to stitch up next.....

  4. Not familiar with this one. I'll have to try to find a picture of it online. I love the rain! I think I could live where it rained daily and love it. My hair wouldn't agree with that statement though. lol Frizz! Looking forward to seeing how this piece stitches up.

  5. Hi Edgar... love this piece... I stitched it myself last year. Be careful with that border... I assumed (I know... bad move) that is was quite regular... and it isn't... also the vertical dividing bands have some slight variations in pattern which I didn't catch and had to frog. I'm happy now that it is finished, but I don't remember any piece that I frogged so much. Happy stitching!
