Moving Forward!

Below are some of the UFOs that I pulled out to work on. The one shown below is the Permin Celle sampler. I am working it in a black Cherry Vikki Clayton Silk. I really like the way it is coming out, it's a sort of purple/brown color in the thread, though the picture didn't quite pick it up. I took these with my phone as opposed to a digital camera. I get better pictures with my digital camera, but I hadn't put batteries in it and decided to save time I'd use my phone.






















Below here are the rise and Shine from Bent Creek that I stitched on a long while ago. I only have the cup and the beek to stitch and part of the sun beween the words. When I purchased this I actually ordered the frame as well, so I have tha ton hand and framing will be a snap!

Lower on the page here, you can see the Marquoir Sampler that I have been working on it seems for ages. I love it though, the colors are really pretty together, and as I have added some of my own motifs to make this 'my own' and some over oen to fit in designs that otherwise would not look right, it has really taken on it's own character and I really like that. I'm lookign forward to finally gettin this finished nad it will be framed and hang in either my bedroom, or in the guest room so that it will be seen easily. I have really enjoyed working on this sampler, why it has taken me so long to get it done is strange in some ways as I have had such a hard time putting it down when I do actually stitch on it. One picture is a close up of the last section I worked on, and the picture below is the full design as it stands now.






















Here in this section you see two more projects-- One is the Six mains sampler or six hands, and I have to locate the other page of teh design -- it was missing from the project bag. I did pull some fibers that i may use, and I am not sure if I will change out the fabric as well. I am not certain that that is the right color. To the right of that is the antique blue linen that I have for a 60x108 sized tablecloth. I plan to do this in hardanger and some pulled thread stitches. It will be fun to see it come together.

So as you can see I have a lot of things going on, and these are only a few of the many UFOs that I have to work on. I have some other WiPs like The Many Years Sampler, a few ornaments in progress, and The Plymouth Sampler that i want to work on and Dutch Beauty. So it will be interesting which gets my time first. I have already stitched some on the Permin Celle sampler and one of the Ewe and Eye projects that i didn't photograph. I will add it soon as I hope to get it finished before too long.

Well, until I have some updates for you this is where I am at with my UFOs and I will get some updates on here as soon as I have something significant to show.

Thanks for looking!
