I´m so happy that there was forming a SAL group for the Threads Through Time sewing roll.

That´s a gorgeous exclusive project from the Swan Sampler Stitchers Guild. I have the kit in my stash since a long time. But unfortunately I never started it. This SAL group now motivated me to pull it out, and I want to start it very soon.
I´m just on page 5 of the Quaker Mystery Sampler, and here´s my progress so far. At the moment I´m not absolutely sure that it was the right decision to stitch a coloured Quaker Sampler ??? Maybe it would look better only one coloured ???!!!
I really don´t want to restart it, but I´ll have to think about it over the weekend. I would love to read your opinions!!!

I just discovered that my pharmacy is carrying a wide collection of tins. So I had to buy some :-)!! I especially like the little ones, which are about 4,5 x 5,5 cm. I think they would be great for little needle cases. And I´m sure I´ll find a a heart shape design for covering the heart tin.
But first I have to eat all these mint- and cough pastilles :-)!
Yesterday I started stitching the band for my new Shaker Box I showed you some time ago.

It´s part of a special project Theresa designed and is sharing with a small group of us addicted stitchers :-). I´m really happy that I´m part of this group :-)!
Theresa did a wonderful job on designing, and I´m looking forward to line my box and to stitch some more lovely needlwork accessories.
I´m stitching on 36 count coffee dyed linen with black NP and Waterlilies silks. I think the colours work very well with the wood of the box top.
I just discovered this Stitcher´s Accessory Book on the JAT website! It´s another Designing Ladies project!

That´s really a lovely way of finishing! I think that´s another "stitching small" I have to add to my collection :-)!
All the other Designing Ladies did a wonderful job on designing for this way of finishing too!

I did a little progress on Catherine Agnes by Indigo Rose and added some more spots. That´s really a funny project and I love to learn more specialty stitches.
Finally I finished MY Beekeeper by Jackie du Plessies and I have to tell you, I didn´t know how lovely it will look like when it´s finished. So now I´m so happy that I pulled it out and finished it :-)!!
I love stitching but I´m not really good in sewing, but with Jackies wonderful finishing instructions I was able to finish this exquisite design.
Yesterday I started the finishing of the My Beekeeper. I really have to tell you, Jackies finishing instructions are gorgeous. I´m not very good in working with my sewing machine, but I got a lot of tips and hints for furtur finishings.
If ever an online class with Jackie will be available, I´m sure, I´ll join it.
Here´s my progress on the finishing so far. I think I can post a picture of the finished My Beekeeper soon!
I finally finished the stitching for The Beekeeper class by Jackie du Plessies. Now I´ll follow Jackies excellent finishing instructions step by step.
Hope I can post a finished picture soon :-)!!
This pinwheels really look great!!!
After I read Veros article about Hornbooks http://verom.over-blog.com/article-1415582.html I pulled out this little item we have since always in our home.
I always saw that there is something to put a sheet of paper in, but I didn´t know how and why this little silver thing was used in the past. Now I think I know, this is something like a Hornbook!
I think I´ll stitch something for it. Now I have to look for a Hornbook design which is about 5 x 7cm.
