Starting The Fill

You can't really see it, but I've done a bit more on the right - it was all light blue gray. I also did a bit more gray and green.  Little bits of building are looking more full.

A Huge Thank You

For the past few weeks, I've been remiss in responding to emails.  It's finally spring, and I've been going out more.  That's not a real excuse, though!  I should have written Betsy a thank you note nearly two weeks ago when I received all this lovely stitchy stuff!  I didn't, though, and for that, I apologize.  THANK YOU BETSY!  I love all this stuff and already have plans for some of it.  Andreas was even going through it and saying I could use this trim for that purpose and that lace for something else.  He never does that.

It's all beautiful, and thank you again for remembering me on your trip to Philadelphia!

Just One More

Only one more motif to go!

Tiny Bit Of Bling

There is now a little bit of green metallic on the bottom left as I get the corner done.

Most Of A Tree

Most of the tree is done now, and I'm halfway through the sampler.  Still have a lot to go!

Three Flowers

I've the outlines of three flowers now.  Just need to fill them in.

Climbing The Fabric

There is just so much of this to stitch! I've been working on it for nearly a month now and am only halfway through the part for this period.  I think it's looking pretty, even if the silk serica is a pain to work with.
