Part 5 available now…

Well, the long awaited Part 5 is now available.  Oops, I haven’t even finished Part 1 yet!

Worth reading Jacqueline’s instructions carefully, as depending on how you want to stitch Mary’s name you need to download a different Part 5.

As I’m not doing a reproduction I was going to stitch my own name, rather than Mary’s as well as stitch the initials of family and friends instead of the initials Mary used.

Well, I think I am?   Am going to wait until I’ve stitched the motives and then decide about the placement of initials and words.

What’s everyone else doing?

Mary Wigham is here in Adelaide!

Hi everyone,

I started stitching Mary Wigham a few weeks ago, but I’m currently rotating projects, so Mary hasn’t had much stitched lately. However, it’s Mary’s turn now so I’m looking forward to finishing part one and two.

I’m stitching on some 28ct cream eveneave, using Vikki Clayton’s silks. Here’s what I have stitched so far.  Okay I seem to have lost the ‘add image’ button, so there won’t be an image at this stage, but once I work out how to get the ‘add image’ button back I’ll be showing you my pics!

Happy Stitching,

Pauline

Introduction… The Cross Stitcher!

Hi everyone… I actually don’t have an progress to show yet…! I only discovered this SAL last week and have been waiting until I go to town to get the threads I need and also get some fabric to start the sampler on. I’m really excited about starting this one… I have many wips… but that’s okay… this one excites me because it’s something totally different to anything I’ve done before! I’m intrigued by the history behind this sampler and it’s gotten me reinspired about cross stitching. I have another blog that is for my sewing and stitching… but wanted something where I could just concentrate on my cross stitching. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and get a beautiful project under way. I’ll be back with updates later as to how my work is progressing… looks like I have alot to catch up on!!
