Just I finished the 17th Century part of the Threads Through Time sewing roll. That´s really a special project from the Swan Sampler Guild. Usually I´m not a fan of bright colours, but this silks really look gorgeous, and I love the idea of a sewing roll with patterns of the different centuries. I´m really happy that I joined this SAL and hopefully, till the end of this year, I can add another special needlwork accessoir to my collection!
I received another wonderful package from Jodi. She sent me wonderful fabric and more wonderful thread keepers made by her Dad. Aren´t they gorgeous??!! I really love them. I know another package is on it´s way to me. Her Dad keeps on designing new shaps and soon I´ll become a wonderful collection of special thread keepers.
I just discovered the PS Freebie for Spring.

I think that would be a nice ornament to stitch in March??!!
I just was in the mood of a little easy, quick and "normal" cross stitch, so I started this Prairie Schooler ornament. Maybe it will become a nice ornament for Easter decoration.
I have a place where I hang all my ornaments
Now I thought maybe it´s nice to make more seasonal ornaments for decorating. I think one ornament a month would be a nice goal. There are a lot of "one ornament a month" groups out, but usually only for Christmas ornaments. Mabey here are some stitchers which will join me in a one ornament a month SAL??
I think it would be nice viewing progress pictures and to discuss which ornament everybody want to start next.
Some time ago I ordered a lot of 2", 4" and 5" inch fabric squares. And now I got my order. I think they are really useful for finishing ornaments and other little stitchings.
I just "played" with the squares and I discovered that the colours fit perfect to the EEF little Sampler I just finished. I think I´ll try some patchwork for the finishing. Maybe I´ll stitch more of the samplers and will finish them all in one piece ?????????????????
I have to think about this. I really would love to be perfect in quilting and patchwork!!
I started the Threads Through Time Sewing Roll a special project from The Swan Sampler Guild. I had this kit in my stash for a long time, and I´m so happy that now a SAL group was forming. I think without it I wouldn´t have started this beautiful project. And now I really have a fun time stitching on it.
It was designed by Ellen Chester, Margene Smith, Jane Timmers and Carolyn Standing Web.
Here´s a progress picture of the seventeenth century part by Carolyn Web from Carolina House Desgins.
Yesterday I finished the little Sampler # 10 by Ewe&Eye&Friends. It was such a pleasure to stitch this little design, that I surely will start another of this small samplers soon!!
A happy St. Valentin´s Day to all my stitching friends around the world :-))))
I ordered some more Ewe&Eye&Friends charts. It´s really bad, everytime I love to stitch a design I can´t resist to order more charts of this designer.
So today I got a lot more EEF charts. Now I only have to find time to start and to finish them :-))))!!!
Here´s a picture of my (slow) progress on Catherine Agnes by Indigo Rose. I added another of the spots to the sampler and I started to stitch the alphabet and the borders, so hopefully I will not become boring at the end.
