Ready to Stitch

Hi -- I have my supplies - 40 count Confederate Gray, and the beautiful Weeks floss -- but I am thinking of waiting a bit before I start stitching. I have been working on the Blackbird's Anniversaries of the Heart on one large piece of fabric. While waiting for the last pattern in that series to arrive, I stitched Brenda Gervais' Soar Sampler and took that to the framer yesterday. Now I am wrestling with starting a new project -- the Mystery SAL -- or finishing up the Anniversaries piece. I hope to have stitching time today, and make that decision.

I am so looking forward to seeing everyone's progress on this beautiful sampler. And I am thrilled that we have no specific deadlines. My only other SAL experience was on a year-long Needleprint Beatrix Potter Quaker sampler, that required us to post progress each month. I loved the encouragement from other stitchers, and finally finished stitching it but it took me over a year and half.

Happy stitching everyone,

Sharon

Housekeeping

Hello everyone! I have been adding member names to the sidebar today and trying to do some general blog housekeeping. Please let me know, on this post, if I have listed your name incorrectly. If you have a nickname or different spelling, please let me know and I will change it as quickly as possible.

I have two exchanges due by the first of June so I have yet to start my sampler. I feel like I may have lost a little of my mojo, so any support would be greatly appreciated.

Remember to please post your introductions. Thanks and have a great holiday weekend (for all our USA babies out there)!

Almost ready...


I recieved my chart and threads and no material...Ugh!! I thought I'd ordered the material also and evidently didn't; so I hurried and ordered it and hopefully I'll get it in a few days. I can't wait to get started; it's so pretty and I love the colours of the threads. I choose to stitch mine on the 35 ct. I've never stitched on 35 ct before; I'm looking forward to it..

Hello Everyone...

This is also my first Mystery SAL. I've done a couple small SAL's but nothing this big; I can't wait!! I have some material already and I ordered my chart & the WDW threads I didn't already have Thursday from Down Sunshine Lane; I should be getting them hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday. I can't wait to get started and see how everyones doing on there's.

Hugs, Shar
