Not Feelin' It!

Hestia Jones test piece

I'm just not sure about Hestia on this fabric. Its not that it looks bad, it just doesn't feel right to me. I ordered a piece of "earthen" from PTP. I will stitch a little on that when it arrives and then decide which looks best. So not much progress made on this one. I am back working on the Quilty Neighborhood house instead. I will update when I receive the new fabric.

Fancy Peacocks finished and a new design

Fancy Peacocks

Stacy Nash

1 strand of DMC on 32 ct. hand dyed linen

This was a  lot of fun to stitch and really went very fast. This is my first finish from the Crazy 15 challenge.

This is the fabric and fibers for my new design called Hestia Jones. It is an historic schoolgirl sampler in primitive colors. I am super excited to get started on it. The fabric is 28 ct. cashel in the color Ale by Picture This Plus-isn't it yummy? I am using 28 ct.~a large count for me, because there is a row of over 1 motifs. I am also planning a doll to go along with this design-a little Hestia to pose with her sampler! The sampler will be dated 1808, so Hestia will be wearing appropriate costume to go with that time period. Picture Elizabeth Bennet; empire waists with capped long sleeves, and straw poke bonnet.

OK, off I go to get to work!!!

Tiny little progress and a sneak peek!

Here is the tiny bit of progress I made on my Stacy Nash piece that I started during the Crazy 15 challenge. It is only a very little progress, as the night I was working on it I was so tired I kept vegging out!

And here is a sneak peek on my original design, Quilty Neighborhood. The first 3 houses have been released as charts and I am working on the 4th. Each chart comes with the border design for all of the houses in case you want to do it all as one piece like I am doing here. It is starting to shape up nicely, the sunset background really is starting to look nice. What do you think?

Punch Dance

Ha! Ha! Only some of you will get that title joke! I'm sure I would NOT know what punch dancing is if I did not live with teenagers. :^)
Anyhow, this is my punch needle happy dance! Whoopie! I LOVE the way this one turned out. This is another wonderful design by Lori Brechlin of Notforgotten Farm. Love it Lori!
