Hello Everyone! It seems like it has been a while since my last post. Not too much stitching has been getting done, unfortunately! I got myself into looking for something special as a gift so each night I was pulling patterns and linen and threads.... which is SO time consuming! And after each evening I just wasn't happy with what I chose and started again the next night. Finally, I just gave up!! LOL When the right design for that special gift appears I will know it. :)
So, I have spent the last few days working on Elizabeth Hancock and I am so happy stitching again.
I have finally finished the top row and all that is left is the border around.
And yesterday there were goodies in the mailbox! I got my Blackbird Mary Blackburn Loose Feathers with R&R Sheep Straw linen and overdyed threads :)
The tulips had me at HeLLo on this one!!
I will have to put some stitches in this one today :D
Thank you so much for visiting!
I hope you all have a lovely and blessed Easter weekend with family and friends!
Happy stitchings! xxxxxxx
Your Elizabeth is so pretty! Not much more to do, right? And yeah, I'm waiting on my Loose Feathers to come too. lol! Who can resist this series?
ReplyDeleteOh, Elizabeth is lovely, Krista!! And what a beautiful sampler you have waiting in the wings!! Happy Easter to you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely verse (except for our days passing swiftly!) and a fabulous stitch job. Even though I love the look of borders, I hate stitching them. I would wimp out and quit now! Can't wait to watch your progress on it.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth is gorgeous & the BBD is a great choice! Happy Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Krista!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth looks wonderful, she will soon be finished.
Lovely new stash too, I am waiting for mine to come.
Elizabeth is a beautiful sampler and yeah! You're almost done - always a good feeling! Love the new BBD pattern as well - the tulips are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitches! And I love the new BBD! Who can resist their designs?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth is fabulous! Easter Blessings to you Krista. :)
ReplyDeleteI am just loving Elizabeth~~ Happy Easter~~

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!!
Hi Krista - thanks for stopping by my blog. You and I have very similar tastes. I have Elizabeth all kitted up and ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI love Elizabeth, Krista !!! So exciting to receive Mary Ann Blackburn, I am anxiously awaiting mine in the mail and I can hardly wait :-)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth is just beautiful. I've had the same fabric/threads dilemma for a gift recently too, it's so hard isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's looking BEEutiful, Krista :)
ReplyDeleteMary is simply lovely. The colors are beautiful as is your stitching!
ReplyDeleteLinda
Awesome progress ;)
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Hancock looks gorgeous and I can easily see why she is a pleasure to stitch. I have been thinking of buying the pattern very often but then I have to take a look at my overflowing stash ... but it's still on my list, lol. The new BBD book is also so tempting and I don't know how long I can resist.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth is such a lovely sampler! Pretty new stash from BBD's!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! It's lovely, Krista! You've done a great job!

Krista, oh my gosh!!! Your Elizabeth is stunning. I've been in such a slump but looking at that makes me want to run and stitch. Love the Mary Blackburn, too. I need to order mine!
