Some Finished Items

I feel like I have been spinning my wheels for over a month. Just can’t settle down to do any one thing. Maybe it is the heat! LOL Seriously it has been blistering hot here in Texas and I think we are in for a very long HOT summer. OK I will stop complaining and show you what I have been doing.

I finished up a project that I have worked on for the past year. It is the Beatrix Potter Sampler, which is a reproduction from the Ackworth School in the United Kingdom. Being a reproduction you will see what you might believe to be errors, but it was charted from the original. You can find out more about Ackworth School Samplers at http://needleprint.blogspot.com/

This was stitched on 36 count linen over two threads with DMC floss.

I wish I knew more about the history of this particular sampler. I also have started the Mary Wigham Sampler

I have doing some needlepoint as well I have stitched this Nativity backdrop for my Granddaughter. I have all of the little people and animals to go along with this. I will get started on them as soon as I can purchase the stretcher bars. This will be finished as a free standing piece.

So I haven’t been sitting idly just flitting from one project to another. I love doing handwork when I watch television – or should I say listen to television!

Now, I think, a quilt is calling my name.

Until later….
