I wanted to show you my progress on the antique sampler and show my next (the hospital) project. We have so many decisions to make -the DH is my color helper- on the colors on the antique sampler that I am not taking it to the hospital. I wanted something easy and direct. I will finish the antique sampler as soon as I get home.
Very close to being finished!
I think her saying was just charming.
I love this! We are all so careful. This was how a ten year old did stitching.
She carried her threads all over the place.
I really like this design. On the chart, the red and blue look a bit too pastel for me.
So I'm using a deep red and blue, more the traditional red, white and blue.
While I'm in the hospital getting that new knee, I hope to get lots done on this project.
Thanks for joining me today! Have a great Easter week-end!
Good luck with the knee surgery xx Love the sampler xx

ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely choice of design to take in with you Barb. Hope all goes well with your surgeryand you are back to stitching your beautiful sampler very soon.

A friend of mine stitched this and changed it to brighter colors also. It turned out very nice.
Good luck with your knee surgery.

ReplyDeleteHope everything goes well with your knee replacement,Barb! I hope you have a quick recovery ! Love your new project and I agree with the darker colors:) Can't wait to see it !
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the backside of the sampler. Tonight I found that my border did not match up as I got off one thread...if I were 10 maybe I would ignore that too! Best wishes for a successful surgery and recovery. I do like the colors you chose for your new stitch.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surgery and I hope you`ll have a speedy recovery. I love this sampler and it`s such fun to see the carried threads on the back. That dark red and blue are a great choice. Happy Easter! :)

ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean about taking a project with you that you can just relax and stitch easily, Barb, and that looks like a perfect choice. Lovely progress on the sampler, too!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy Easter and a quick recovery from your knee surgery :)
Such lovely progress on your sampler. It gets more and more beautiful. Yes, it' s funny to see how that ten year old girl was stitching her sampler, and how careful we experienced stitchers look after the backs of our pieces.
ReplyDeleteYour next piece is on my wish list, it's a very lovely project.
I wish you all the best of luck for your knee surgery and a speedy recovery.
Great stitching Barb! I hope your surgery goes well and that you have a quick recovery. :)

ReplyDeleteYou're doing an amazing job with that antique sampler!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a successful surgery and a very quick recovery time.
ReplyDeleteLiberty Lane looks like an enjoyable "hospital project".
I hope your surgery goes well, and your recovery is quick. I think it's amazing seeing samplers produced by such young girls.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a speedy recovery and prayers for you! Just remember to do what the doctor tells you to do when it comes time to your recovery - SUPER important!
ReplyDeletethen you will be running! Gorgeous sampler and I love those colors of threads that you showed the backside of the same sampler or a different one?
I also have Liberty Lane chart in my to do pile. I love that chart and I too am changing some of the colors.
