Love Spoken Here has spoken.............

 Hot off the press......"Love Spoken Here" is completed as of today!!!  Yeah~~

I tell ya, if you are a fan of the taupes and grays, this piece is for you!! The npi silks are just perfect and there are only 4 colors in this entire piece.... I love the color combination and have fallen in love with npi silks... I WILL be using more of them!~

 Love Spoken Here
La-D-Da
pale gray 36 ct linen, npi silks


This is my fourth wip completed this year in the "up for a challenge" challenge...
In surveying my basket, I am seeing many of my other wip's are more of the large sampler pieces so they will not be nearly as quick a finish as this one was....But, that's ok....Who knows, I just might treat myself to a new start sometime this month!~ 

I am off to finish an exchange piece which is due out in March...And, I have homework....Homework from a drawn thread class I am taking at my local Needlepoint shop; Moore than Needlepoint.
Several  local ladies are wanting to learn more about cut threadwork, so I decided to join in on the fun.. (Although I have to admit it scares the bejeezes out of me to cut that linen~~)

Hope your weekend has been filled with fun and if you are lucky enough to have tomorrow off (snow makeup day for me...),  enjoy Presidents Day 2011~~~~

Take care everyone, 

Faye

    Beautiful Faye! Something to always cherish.
    I too have to enjoy President's day with my kiddos. Aren't snow makeups days fun :0)
    And to top it off...no mail. I'm expecting a package.

    Oh Faye, I think it is just beautiful. The color combo is great. I think this one may have to go on my must buy list.
    Take Care

    Absolutely beautiful, Faye!
    I can't wait to try the NPI silks, I haven't as of yet but looks like they are awesome from the blogs I see.

    Yeppers, I work tomorrow but regular day for us.
    Hardanger......I laughed once and said...well, I know why they call it hardanger...... with all that cutting and pulling, it's Hard---Anger....ROFLOL I would be scared as well cutting on linen.

    Wow that is pretty. I just discovered NPI myself and like it so far. I've done the cutting of linen with hardanger. Don't be afraid, just triple check yourself before you cut.

    Love Spoken Here is just beautiful. Lovely colors, and wonderful sentiment.

    I would be scared to death too - good luck at Hardanger.

    This President's Day has me spending it with DGD Lily, her daycare is closed but her mama has to work. Poor me - LOL. I have a whole bag of crafty goodies to play with - just trying a little brain washing is all - hehehe

    Your finish is beautiful. Regarding the cut thread piece, you won't be sorry you tackled it... even if you cut the wrong thread, it is often possible to reweave the fabric and salvage your piece (annoying, but possible). And, you're so worried about it, it's very unlikely that you actually WILL make a wrong cut. And when you are finished, ooh, it will be sooooo lovely!

    Love the finish Faye! This one is on my "to do" list for this year, however I think I may change up the colors a little since I don't have much in the way of NPI's. Afterall, this is the year that I try to stitch from stash!

    Congrats again on a beautiful finish!

    Beautiful finish Faye! I was wondering if you can tell me the secret behind your beaded pins. Is there a special glue that you use?

    Wow Faye! You are on a roll. This piece is beautiful! Congratulations on another great finish!

    Actually, linen is very easy cut. When I worked at Mary Jo's we used the pulled string method to get an even cut. I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to though. lol. Have fun with the class.
