Hello fellow stitchers and friends....Happy President's Day weekend....
Coming to you from Cherry Grove Beach SC where the day was a mild 60 degrees...We are bracing for a rain event however.... But, I have plenty of K-cups for the Kureig, lots of stitching kitted up and my sweet beagle (...and hubbie too...) here to keep me company!
I know I said on my last post that Sarah Munday would be my next sampler....But, in fact I lied....As I am waiting for my silk conversions to come together for Sarah, I began stitching a smaller sampler in the meantime.... I had the opportunity to see the stitched piece in October when I met Tanya Brockmeyer of The Scarlett House and of course I fell in love with it~ Emma Mills 1839 has patiently been sitting in my basket waiting....And, now it is her time....
Emma Mills 1839
The Scarlett House
40 ct Pearled Barley
specified overdyed cotton threads
So, that's my start....Will surely look forward to stitching her up this weekend....hopefully...
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend~~
Is that Vermont Country Blend I am smelling in the kitchen???
Many blessings~~~
Faye
That is so funny you started Emma - I started her on Thursday! I just have a little bit of the border done. I also ordered Sarah Munday from Em-Li's. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those colors on your new sampler start!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect choice for a new start!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty new start! Your stitching is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely design you picked out to stitch. :) Sounds like my south Florida weather has made its warm way up yonder to you.

Ooooh, it's soooo pretty! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't matter if you lied. Whatever you're stitching is of interest! You always pick great projects.
ReplyDeleteLove your Scarlett House sampler! The colors look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your Emma, the colors are beautiful!!! Your bags are very nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat new start Faye! The colours are quite lovely. My DH has been gone most of the day and I've had Vermont Country Blend brewing in my K cups since breakfast. Here's hoping I can sleep tonight!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sampler you're working on! I'm really liking the colors in this one, too, as do the other posters have said..... Your work is always so lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh you know I have a soft spot for samplers. This one is going to be amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it all done.
Beautiful start. i look forward to your progress.
ReplyDeleteNow Miss Faye, I'm going to have to pay you for PR if you keep stitching and blogging about my designs, lol. I am so thrilled that you like Emma. The antique is sweet, but I thought the colors needed some spiffing up.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful time at the beach this weekend. You know I'm jealous. I'll email you back tomorrow. I worked on taxes today, and I'm too tired to think.
Wonderful start, I like so much the colours!
ReplyDeleteLovely new start x
ReplyDeleteGreat new start , what lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat start! Sometimes you chance your plans, but that alright :-)
ReplyDeletegreetings from Debby
What a lovely choice. I particularly like the delicacy of the colours of threads and fabric.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good weekend.
Have a wonderful time hold up at the beach and stitching her up!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome start - isn't that one of the best parts of stitching! So do you put the name of the original stitcher when you do a reproduction? I sometimes (or most) rechart my name or the city or something. I don't know why, I haven't done many so I am curious. Hope you enjoyed your weekend and stayed dry.
ReplyDeletePearled Barley looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteLovely start Faye!
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give to be stitching at the beach in SC! Pretty colors for Emma. I love my pillow and pouches you finished for me. Still excited when I look at it. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your new start. The colours are very pretty and delicate looking. The fabric on your project bag is very pretty too.
ReplyDeleteGirl get you some milk and bread and wait for all that snow we are suppose to get:) You'll be stitching for a while, NOT!!!! Have fun see you Tues.

ReplyDeleteSure hope the rain veers off course and leaves you alone at the beach, Faye! 60 degrees sounds wonderful to me since it is 30 here right now :)
ReplyDeleteLovely new start--will look forward to seeing more!
What a great 'in the meantime' piece! It's cold (that means 45 this winter) and drizzling here - hope it is slow moving and leaves your long weekend alone!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect weekend! Cold and rain have settled in in the Charlotte region so you may be getting it soon. Hope you enjoyed yesterday's weather while it was there.
ReplyDeleteHaven't switched to Keurig yet. Maybe on the Christmas wishlist this year .....
Pretty start! I'm sure I'd go crazy with all those letters, but pretty it is nevertheless :-)
ReplyDeletesuperbe mon amie très beau début !
ReplyDeletebisous de France
Lovely new start Faye. x
ReplyDeleteGreat start Faye.... hope you have a great stitchy weekend.
ReplyDeleteFaye, this sampler is going to be amazing. I love the colors. I can't wait for you to post it when you are done.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching,
Tricia
Emma is lovely, Faye! The colors are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet new start! Beautiful! Enjoy your beach time. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember that piece! Enjoy stitching it and your entire long weekend!! Will look forward to seeing the finish next week!
ReplyDeleteI really love that sampler and you're off to a good start! I love the colors of it so far.
ReplyDeleteLove the new start...and all the lovely pouches in your last! Stay wamr and dry my dear!
ReplyDeleteGreat start Faye! Hope you are enjoying the beach.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely new start! I'm just a tad jealous of you being at the beach! It's snowing here in Winston although not much is accumalating (to my boys' disappointment). Enjoy your time at the beach!
ReplyDeleteGreat new start.
ReplyDeleteA lovely new start. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
ReplyDeleteEmma is so pretty!!!! I saw the model at the Attic and had to get her :-).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start Faye! I just added this chart to my stash a couple of weeks ago:)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful long weekend!
This is a perfect example of why I need to stop reading blogs, I get inspired to start new projects and I never finish the ones I have! This is a beautiful start, I had not seen this one. Thanks for the enabling!
ReplyDeletelove the new sampler ;)
ReplyDeleteWish I had known you were in the Grove as I was in N Myrtle at Gator Hole and Our Lady Star of the Sea next door. We could of had a coffee and watched the ocean!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great vacation.
Happy Stitching!
Faye, it looks like Emma is off to a beautiful start! Gotta love February in the south...
