I have quite a bit of stitching to share with you tonight :-) First up, it is Paradigm Lost night. This sampler is really growing. After finishing the pudgy birdie motif in the lower left corner, I focused on doing some of the smaller motifs before I take on another denser one next week....I heard from Marika earlier today that my Monochromatic Exchange on the SBEBB arrived at her home in Finland. I sent her a whole package of goodies, which she says she enjoys. As usual, I only took a photo of the stitched item(s). Perhaps she will share the rest in her blog. I really didn't know what I wanted to stitch for this exchange. I finally settled on a biscornu with a matching scissor fob (I sent her scissors too). Thank you to Tannia - I used one of the Dinky Dyes silks you recently sent me to stitch this exchange :-)
And... Michelle recently asked Jenna and I to help her out by each stitching a square on her Just Nan Round Robin that recently ended. Apparently, two stitchers were not able to do their parts, or perhaps Michelle liked the 9 block set up ... but, Jenna and I are both truly honored to stitch on this piece for Michelle. Oh, the stitching is so gorgeous on this round robin! I don't know many of the stitchers who stitched on this - I know Arthemise and Angi... wow, everyone who worked on this deserves to know You did a great job for Michelle!!! Michelle must be thrilled with this. I added Peppermint Rose in the center row on the left edge. Mike will post this beauty off to Jenna tomorrow :-) Thank you, Michelle, for inviting me to stitch on this pretty RR! I cannot wait to see the finished sampler!Lily is walking considerably better - I really wanted to share that. She has a few fans out there in blogland that have been expressing quite an interest (i.e., Isabelle, for one :-)...) Thank you!! Also... thank you to everyone for your sweet words on the fob for Harmien... aren't Prairie Schooler charts wonderful??
Stitched on today: Finished Michelle's Just Nan RR, and Paradigm Lost
Oh Carol you have so many pretty things here to share!! I love all of the things tonight! I am so glad that Lily is doing better!! Debby :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful stitching Carol, as always! I really love your Paradigm Lost, and the biscornu, fob, and RR are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Lily's limp is a bit better. My old cat, Claude used to limp occasionally - until we moved to Oz then it cleared up miraculously!
Thank you for sharing all these beauties and I am very happy to read that Lili is better. Ann.
ReplyDeleteGlad Lily's leg is getting better.

ReplyDeletePL is looking close to finished! I can't thank you enough for helping me out with the RR - I did like the 9 block layout better even though we only had 7 stitchers. It is lovely! Your exchange piece is beautiful too - I love the button you used and the color thread!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty RR!

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful biscornu! Marika must have been incredibly pleased to find something from your waiting in the mail, knowing how incredible your work is. :) I can't wait to stitch on Michelle's RR (hopefully, I will have it for the weekend) and get it back to her!
