After I finally finished Bordeaux Sampler tonight, I worked back into my rotation with HOHRH. I want to thank Anne for jumping in on Bordeaux with me and making it an SAL. If she had not done that, this sampler would probably be a UFO! Thanks Anne, for keeping me motivated!!! And... above is a new update of Houses of Hawk Run Hollow too...Has anyone ever purchased supplies from Violarium ? If you have not, I have to say my experience with Leena at Violarium last week was amazing! I ordered an issue of De Fil en Aiguille magazine from her last Monday, and I had it in hand on Saturday morning! What amazing turnaround time from Finland to New Hampshire! I am so impressed, and I had to share that! Thanks Leena!!
And, finally, some daylilies from this past weekend... the top one is Schickelfritz, and I cannot recall the names of the other two...oh, I think one of them is called Masque...
Now, it is time to fidget with my rotation and make some decisions... do I pick up a UFO, like perhaps Mermaid Heaven, now? Or do I start something new?? Tough decision!
Stitched on today: Finished a gift, finished Bordeaux Sampler, and Houses of Hawk Run Hollow
Congratulations on the finish of your Bordeaux Sampler Carol. It's lovely. Isn't it amazing how stitching in a SAL can make such a difference?
ReplyDeleteHRH is coming along beautifully and looks like a very enjoyable project.
Your flowers are gorgeous.
Wa-hoo!!! Great finish. That is a gorgeous piece. The Houses piece is beautiful, too. You have a good start on it.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are pretty, especially the pink one at the bottom.

Woohoo! 'Grats on the finish - it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHOHRH is looking great too. :)
I've also ordered from Violarium and EVERY time, the order comes in within just a couple of days. Amazing. We won't discuss the GAST threads I ordered from SB&B nearly two months ago...!
ReplyDeleteYour BS finished up beautifully. Will you frame it now? And it's great to see HoHRH. I just love that one.
Congratulations on your Bordeaux finish, Carol! You're doing really well for big finishes just now. Any plans for other peices to come into the rotation?

ReplyDeleteWhat a magnificent finish Carol!! Just stunning, congratulations!
ReplyDeletePersonally I'd treat myself to a new start but in truth, I do like Mermaid heaven and would love to see you finish yours soon.
The flowers from your garden are so pretty!
Congratulations Carol! What a wonderful effort - especially with all those grapes!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Carol, it was lovely following your and Anne's progress on that one :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! A great finish and well done for sticking with all those over one grapes! I know you found them such a pain at times.
ReplyDeleteAbout filling the slot? Mermaid Heaven sounds perfect :o) I adore this one and love watching your progress. I have so missed her recently.
Congratulations on your finish Carol, it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the finish, Carol! Love the linen choice. Your HoHRH is coming along so nicely, too!
ReplyDeleteWow it's gorgeous! And two big finishes in a week or so is amazing. Have you decided what to put in your rotation to replace them?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the finish Carol! You got a good bit done on HOHRH too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finish !!!
ReplyDeleteBordeaux is beautiful, great job Carol!
ReplyDeleteWell seems like everyone is always here before me....BUT I think that is a STUNNING finish! I love the Houses and I can't wait to see what you decide to do either a new *start* or an old *wip* hmm.....what would I do?! LOL! I think you know!
ReplyDeleteCarol, a HUGE congrats to you! I know you've been slogging away at Bordeaux for ages and how tempted you were to let it become a UFO.
ReplyDeleteSo what's taking its place in the rotation??
Congratulations Carol, Bordeaux Sampler is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHoHRH is looking lovely as well
Congratulations on your finish Carol! Your lilies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, Congratulations on your finish! Bordeaux is really beautiful and stunning! What a piece to treasure!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you decide to do with your rotation, I love watching all your pieces come to life!
Congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pics of your day lilies they are so pretty.
Congratulations on your finish. That's a wonderful accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Carol! You are finishing up quite a few big pieces this year. I am almost finished one of the biggest pieces I've ever done myself.
ReplyDeleteOnward Hawkrun!
I am enjoying my daylilies here too.
Congratulations on your finish, Bordeaux is beautiful. What an accomplishment to finish both that and PL so close together. I think you need to have a celebration. Houses is looking good too.
ReplyDeleteAs to a new one, I'd love to see Mermaid Heaven some more, that has such pretty colors, or the Long Dog Mystery Sampler, that one is lovely as well.
Sue
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to make you worry Carole :( Thank you so much for caring, my friend. It means a lot.
ReplyDeleteThings haven't been great here but we're getting there, so I'm poking my head out again and trying to catch up.
As I suspected, you've been busy! I've missed the end of PL!!!! I'm so happy to see it finished. It's top, top, top of my 'to do' list because of seeing yours.
And all the other projects! OMG! It'll take me a week to look at them all, lol.
Beautiful as always though, from the quick peek I've taken.
Wow Congratulations Carol, it looks fantastic, as does HRH.
ReplyDeleteI will be back to Stitching Spring Ride with you and Karen this coming weekend. I now have the material and threads that I need.
Hugs
Congratulations Carol!! such a wonderful finish!!
ReplyDeleteI vote for a new start ;)
Carol -
ReplyDeleteOf all the blogs I love to visit, yours is my favorite. You motivate me to "kick it up a notch" just by seeing the constant progress you make on your projects. Congrats on another great finish.
Fabulous, fabulous work, Carol, on Bordeaux!! I know you're happy to have finished it. It's going to be beautiful framed. And, your HRH is looking good and continues to inspire me as I work on mine. Love seeing your things, as always.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Deb
Congratulations on your finish! It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour daylilies are beautiful, I am so glad flower pictures are back! I love all your blogs, but I really like the pictures of your flowers.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBORDEAUX SAMPLER LOOKS AMAZING, ALL THOSE OVER ONE GRAPES WHERE WORTH IT IT LOOKS GREAT!
Another fantastic finish! Congratulations Carol. Your flowers are looking pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnother finish! That makes two huge finishes in one week, right? Well done, you. They're both stunning, but I think you already know that :o)
ReplyDeleteYou must feel so good to have both of these HUGE pieces done this week, that is great! I love Bordeaux, it turned out lovely. What will you do with it?
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I’d start a new one just for fun! :D Since you have two rotations to fill, a new one, and your Mermaid Heaven would work… but that is because I love your mermaids, so precious.
Great job <3
Congratulations on finishing Bordeaux! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautfiul flower pictures!
Gasp! Gorgeous! Where have I been? Congrats on a beautiful finish. I so want to stitch this one up someday - I just need the fabric (oh, and time). You have really outdone yourself lately with finishing these big projects!! Can't wait to see what you decide to do next.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish, Carol. It's gorgeous! I love SAL's, they are so motivating and it gives me the warm and fuzzies knowing that someone in the world is sharing time with me stitching on the same piece. Your HOHR is coming along nicely too!
ReplyDeleteLove your garden photos, when I need a pick-me-up I visit your blog for the flowers. They always make me smile and remember there are beautiful things in the world!
