Happy Easter Monday!
I see I have not posted since last Wednesday, since the start of the Easter Triduum. What a glorious Holy Week I had! I am an Easter zealot, that's for sure! I did not miss a single mass or service this year, which is a lot of church time. We brought 20 new converts into the church on Saturday night, it was glorious!
And now, fired up and filled with the Holy Spirit I am renewed and ready to get to work! I still have my kiddos home today, but they will be back in school tomorrow and the Online Needlework Show begins on Wednesday, so this will be a busy and happy week!
I did not get much time to stitch over the weekend, we were just too busy. But I did work a little bit on Houses. I have the models for my 2 newest designs completed(they will premier at the show on Wednesday)so I was able to work on Houses guilt-free! LOL! I do need to get started on new designs though, no rest for the weary!
I worked on my canvas work piece and got it almost all done until I ran out of the navy blue Neon Rays fiber. So I will have to pick up one of those to finish it.

Something new!
I just HAD to share a little corner of my new sampler!!It is called "Our Love" and was stitched in beautiful AVAS silks! This is all I can show you right now. It will be released next week at the Online Needlework Show. (Be sure to come and browse through all of the booths!)
I will have another new chart called "Be Ye Kind and True", which I am still working on!!But it will be done, never fear!
So how do you think "Our Love" looks so far?

One of my oldest WIPS
I was digging around in my basement looking for stretcher bars yesterday when I came across this WIP. If this isn't my oldest WIP it certainly is in the running! I will not even own up to how old it is! But here's a hint~remember when we were all decorating southwest?? Ha! Ha!
Anyhow I decided to drag it out and finish it because it would make a nice gift for my brother who has navy blue furniture in his living room. I think I will try to finish it as a throw pillow.
It is called Quilt Block Quartet and it is by Marie Ary.

Jane Austen charts
I really like a lot of the Jane Austen charts that are out on the market these days. I would love to have a JA wall, and I would leave all of them to my oldest daughter, because she loves Jane Austen too!
These are all by The Stitching Parlor. I really love the Netherfield Ball one, and will probably stitch that first. I think these are beautiful and would look great interspersed with the simpler designs by The Sampler Girl. Oh what a wall it would be!
