New Patches Sampler

Well I loved doing the Garde Sampler so much I decided to do it in another colorway. I think I like these colors together better than the first project. I e already got the top row done😀here is the Watercolors skeen I’m basing all my colors from. 
It’s called mountain breeze. Lila is enjoying some much needed rest and off time snoozing while I stitch. She is just so precious. And a close up..

Patches is finished

I finished my Garden Sampler yesterday and can hardly wait to show you so without further ado....here it is sitting proudly on the rocker. 

And I had a birthday over the weekend though I was sick with the flu all day long and the next two days as well. Yesterday was the first day in a while I actually felt better. Here is all the goodies
Hand overdyed wool from Yarn Barn. It was super inexpensive. DMC linen floss was on cleared everything for only $1 per skeen. 
More fun threadsand more...
I’ve been needing one of these. For the fridge
An awesome frame weight and my now favorite. Coffee mug with my service dog on it. 

Moving Right Along

Yesterday was a really good day for making progress on my Garden Sampler. I am happy to say I’m two blocks away from half finished!!!

Here is half way through the day...

I’m so excited with how it’s coming along. What is your favorite block? Can you guess mine?

Patches- A Garden Sampler

I just started a new needlepoint project called Patches- A garden Sampler by Lois Caron 2007 #8143

Here is my first block. I love how this is looking. It’s the first needlepoint project I picked out from my old needlework shop. I saw it done up on the wall and I just knew would want to stitch it. 

Here is the first block I worked on and the first step in it. 

And here is block one and two finished. I started in the middle so it would be perfectly centered. 

And all three done ✅...61 to go. 

Here it is on the stitching stand. I love how this looks. Can’t wait to do more but my bottom was getting sore from sitting. 

Hope you are having a blessed day.
