WIP Jenny Bean Halloween...need tip on thread sorting
 |
| I'm going to stitch this wonderful sampler. Its a great piece not just for Halloween. |
 |
| Here's my fabric and threads. The threads on the left I had no problem with. Nightmare, Dried Blood, and Sarcophagus were pretty easy to tell. |
 |
| These were the ones I can't figure out. They are: Coffin Lid, Witch's Wort, Swamp Water, Zombie Flesh and Burial Ground yet they all look so much alike. |

Scarlett Letter SAL project: Ann Kirby progress
 |
| I stitched the eyelet border top and sides to establish my boundary. I found it easier to count then the vine. I changed the colour of the berries to the darker shade of pink since the Ivory didn’t show up well. |
 |
| I still used the Ivory for the name part even tho' it doesn't show up well. |
 |
| I will finish the year when I finish the sampler. Hopefully it will be in this decade. |

Class with Ellen Chester from With My Needle Designs
 |
| Two wonderful days we had. A wonderful person as well as a great teacher. If you ever get the chance, do take one of her classes. You will not regret it! |
 |
I took the Needleworker's Sampler Huswife class. I just love how she assembles her kits. She has everything you need in them plus has these cute hornbook thread holders all labeled and strung in advance for you. I am about half way thru mine and it is a pleasure to stitch. I can't decide if I am going to frame it or make it into the huswife. Guess I'll come to that conclusion upon completion.
