Another Feathered Friend

my first little hummer seemed so lonesome, so I stitched up a friend..... he seems a lot happier now.....



my next project is an anniversary sampler for my son, Brian and his wife, Susan..... will post my progress right here..... I have to have this done, framed and mailed, to be to their home by October 30, so I thot I'd better get stitching and put the hummers away for a week or so.....

talk to you again soon.....

Here Are a Few Updates

here are few pictures of things I haven't taken time to add here....

Spring Quaker SAL is done..... here's my finished piece..... it is out to the framer right now.... I changed the center and sprinkled the letters to the word 'Spring' around the design and added some other motifs where the center used to be.....



I started a new Chatelaine design -- 'Hummingbird Garden'..... this will take quite a while to complete.....



here is the update on Chatelaine 'Peacock Garden'..... there are 3 more installments to go.... and then I have to do all the beading....



I finished 'Rainbow Row' by Barbara and Cheryl.... it is framed and hanging in our master bedroom..... will take a framed picture in the next few days.....



this has caught up a few odds and ends..... will try to talk to you sooner the next time.....

The Family Sampler

It's been a while!!!

I keep saying that I'll keep this up, but I haven't done so well..... so I've decided to try again.... *grin*

I have started a SAL with the Little House Needlework group called 'The Family Sampler'..... I have stitched on it for eight and a half hours and have added the 2 day's work here.....

I am stitching this on 32 count lugana -- color = lemon whip....



this is the first day's stitching - 4 hours.....


this is the second day....   4.5 hours....    the colors on this aren't very good.....

in my next entry I'll put some pictures of the things I've finished and haven't added here yet.....

see you all later.....
