DD#1 hosted a stitching day at her house on Saturday.
Here we are (I took the photo)-
Even my grandson got in on the stitching-(he didn't want to pose for the picture) The dinosaur kit was very cute. But the plastic needle in the package was flimsy. Luckily, DD#1 had a different one.
Here is what I worked on -
Quaker Hornbook
With My Needle
32 ct Lakeside Linen Maple Sugar
Needle Necessities 135 Overdye
My EGA guild ordered this last year and it had languished at this point in my WIP pile until now!
Woo Hoo! Another over 1 finish! You can click on the photo for a better look. Isn't the hornbook just gorgeous? It is finished so smooth and silky-really beautiful. I love the thread so much that I'll use it in another project.
Sheepish Designs
Sarah Salter
32 ct lambswool linen
Called for DMC/Soie d'Alger threads
During the closing ceremony I was actually able to start another sampler. I have loved this one for so long and it was sitting in my staging box. Yes, I have a staging box for kitted up projects that I want to start asap. I look at them like a baseball player who is "on deck" :)
Have a great week everyone! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Good for you! What fun!
Your staging box is a great idea. I always start searching around when I'm near the end, kind of a last minute approach, not such a good idea because you don't always think things through. Love the Quaker hornbook.
love every single picture.. your grandson stitching is the best!! :D
happy xxx everyone!

I love stitching days! Love your finish, and your new start too. I need to stitch Sarah Salter someday as well!
A stitching day sounds like fun! Your Quaker Hornbook finish is so pretty! I love the thread color. Can't wait to see more of Sarah Salter. :)

The hornbook is lovely. I would love to have that one. How can I get one?
Looks like a great day. Love that hornbook.
Oh, this hornbook finish looks wonderful. I have that pattern, too, and have been looking at it for a long time, maybe I should start stitching it. Finally. At least I will pull it out now and look for a nice thread.
Congratulations on the beautiful hornbook finish, its going to look fabulous mounted.
Lovely project! That hornbook is really pretty.
