Despite the need to work on projects already in progress and getting started on designs that need stitching for the St. Charles Market; I started work on the Mary Wigham Sampler from Needleprint this weekend. I just couldn't say no!
Did you ever just get so excited about a project that you couldn't help starting it? Well, I ordered the silks, got the fabric and I just had to start stitching. So, while watching a few favorite shows, I started the sampler. I love working on it!! The silks are so wonderful to work with and I am enjoying how the thread smoothly draws through the fabric and lays so softly on the linen. It's so comforting some how.
However, I will shortly have to stop so I can get going on the reproduction sampler that I need to finish charting and stitching. It's such a short time till market, and I get so side-tracked sometimes. There are times I wish that I was not a designer as I could stitch on whatever I would like to stitch. However for the most part, I love what I do. So, I will continue to design needlework until I seem led elsewhere.
In the meantime...here's the progress so far on Mary. She is a joy to stitch.
Till Next Time,
