18th January Project

I got an email from a friend the other day, that reminded me of a project that I had started the end of last year, and for some reason, seemed to forget about it until now.  I didnt start something last night, but continued to work on Mary Beale- Her Sampler.

This is where I left her last year, and I this is where I left her last night.

I am amazed at her beauty.  So very delicate and fresh.  You can almost smell the flowers.  I wanted to work on her because of Andrea.  She started this years ago, and finished it last year, and it is Magnificent.  Simply breathtaking, she is an amazing stitcher.  She did an outstanding job!!!  So, I have to have this sampler done in my home someday too :)  What do you think?  I love the variation of the silk overdyes, and so me gives her a some depth.  This is the start of the top right corner, the 2nd flower is going down the right side, and the corner flower is done as well, and I am heading across the top.  I was going to continue on the top, but got side tracked on the side.  At this point it is 50/50.  Do I stitch more flowers or start the words?  I will not know until next time she makes an appearance!!!
