At Least the Fabric and Thread!

The linen I've chosen really is this deep pink color with a lavender cast to it. It's 32 ct., Thistle Pink, from Lakeside Linens. I'm going to use Silk 'n Colors, with one green closest to you in the picture of Gloriana (Grannie Smith Green). Still don't have my chart!!! I've ordered it, but no response! Now I don't know whether to reorder it, or just wait..... Anyway, I'll meet you at the Starting Gate! :] Big Hugs, Deb/LavenderRose

A little start

Here is my little start from the other evening....

This is the lower right section. I am shifting up some of the bits so I wanted to tackle this one myself. I am very pleased with the colours.

And a start is made

Having chosen fabric and thread the next decision was where to start. After some dithering, some tacking and some measuring I decided to start in the middle! Here is a snap of progress so far - I am really really enjoying this. Thanks Edgar for inviting me on.

Breakdown chart arrived!

The breakdown chart arrived this morning - thanks Edgar! I can't wait to start but I have to finish my tiny red sampler first and I also need to get my fabric serged. Wouldn't this design look great stitched on 48/55ct linen? But don't worry I won't inflict you all with my new found passion of high count linens!

Who will be the first to post a picture?

I have made a start

Just letting you know that my "pack" from Edgar arrived today - such quick service even to the uttermost parts of the earth! Thanks very much Edgar. This evening I made a start and am already in love with this one. This week is busy both at work and after work so progress may not be too fast but I'll try and post a photo later this week.

Hello there everyone

Hello from New Zealand. It is wet, windy and cold here - great stitching weather!

I have been invited to join the RR for An Emblem of Love and so following Carol's good example I have chosen fabric and threads and here's a photo. All other committments have been finished so I can with a clear conscience look forward to this.

Ready steady go!

I'm ready to start! I have made a working copy of the pattern and chosen fabric and thread. The fabric is 36ct antique white linen and the thread is HDF Magpie Tears 2349 (formerly Kolbart Blue that I used for Alphabets Blue). I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else has chosen.

And also to the return of my Quaker Friendship RR in the not too distant future.
