I am on schedule for this month. I have duly stitched on my alphabet samplers. I haven’t done more on my Jeannette Douglas ABC Sampler (I had made the progress I had planned) but here is the Drawn Thread Sampler of Stitches with ABC and J all completed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will tell you that selecting my own colors keeps me on my toes! I am not sure about that purple zigzag (J for Jacquard Stitch). The model used green, but I wanted to use anything but green as there is already a good amount of green in this area. But should it be lavender and tan instead? Or is two tone purple good? If I use tan instead I will have to change the Japanese stitch (the tan satin stitches) to something else. I would like the dark red brown there I think. It would be a good place to show off that thread! Decisions decisions! But for now I don\u2019t want to pull out 2 things that are just fine so leaving it as is what I will do for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finished the stitching on Sugar Plum Fairy. There are not a lot of beads so she\u2019s really close and maybe I\u2019ll do another small this month too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I\u2019m now at work on Victoria Sampler’s Heirloom Anniversary project for the rest of the month but there’s nothing too exciting to see here as I only have just started working on the satin stitch\/eyelets border. I am managing the Terbizond a little better (It is a fat, silk perle. Very twisty!) It is rather tedious but the payoff is the drawn thread work and then getting to do the ribbon embroidery in the center. That can\u2019t come along soon enough!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
