There is not alot of progress to show on Eliz.Emma Bice Wade's Sampler...But she has sprouted leaves around the border...And there are now 4 flowers... Whew! This border is intense people!!! I love the overall look once done, but those creme flowers will be my biggest challenge...creme on creme...
on 40 ct no less!! Believe it or not, the leaves have 4 shades of green in each of them...
So, 4 flowers down, and 17 to go.... I would love to know this could be a finish in Feb/March...
Here's a close up of those tonal flowers.... It will all be worth it!!
Here's hoping everyone has a good week...I have a very busy one lined up but hope to manage to finish a couple private exchange pieces and a special baby project that has been in the making for 5 months now.
More on that later............
Happy Stitching, Faye
That is going to be amazing when done, Faye. So delicate...I know how time consuming it is though, to have so many color changes. You can do it, you stitch faster then the speed of light!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week! Jan
Wow, this is so pretty so far. I can't wait to see more progress on this piece. You are doing a wonderful job!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful so far. I always have trouble stitching when the fabric and fiber are the same or a very similar color.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that you are not having to have school on Saturday any longer to make up for snow days.
That is such a beautiful sampler Faye. I'm going to have to look for it. I know the flowers are a PITA to do, but it's going to be so lovely when it's finished. Very delicate looking.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a beautiful sampler! It's going to be so worth all the effort! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my... the flowers are beautiful! Borders can sure be a bear. Hang in there! Love to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Good luck with all those flowers. It will be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful sampler Faye! The leaves may have multiple colors but they work!! Just gorgeous! Congrats on your progress! Hugs.

Looks great Faye! The flowers really add something so hang in there! You'll be done in no time...

ReplyDeletePersevere my friend!
40 over 1 - I would have to use a microscope to see that!! It is coming along beautifully - good luck with all those flowers and leaves!
ReplyDeleteCream on cream? 40 count? You have my blessing, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's going to be lovely, and if the weather predictions are right, you may have extra stitching time this week! (along with the rest of us, haha)
ReplyDeleteThat is going be one beautiful Sampler !!! Got my fingers crossed on a Feb finish !!!

ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty, Faye! I hate working on borders but the result is worth it in the end. I keep reminding myself that slow and steady wins the race... or finishes the sampler! ;) Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and of course it will be well worth it in the end. One flower at a time, and it will be complete... Take care during this busy week, just a few minutes of stitching will calm the day and meet the finish goal!
ReplyDeleteIt WILL be beautiful, Faye. It's already beautiful! On 40 count no less, YGG!
