Perhaps you haven't heard already, but our good stitching friend Nicola has created a great challenge and EVERYONE is invited to join it! What is it you ask? Well, it is a Scarlet Letter Sampler challenge. This is the pick me up I have been looking for!!!! Classic samplers. Start, complete, or start and start any of the fantastic Scarlet Letter Samplers and post about it! I have loved these samplers for such a long time and I have finished at least one-- off the top of my head, I think one :)
So remember the crazy start challenge that we all did in 2010? Some crazier then others?!!! Well, lets get going on another one!!!!!! I am looking forward to seeing what others choose to start, continue on and finish. I have some started, but I have to see what I can dig up from the basement in the next few weeks. WOWZA!!!!! Check out Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year and join today! She has done a fantastic job putting this all together, and oops!!!!! Did I mention there are monthly drawings?!!!!!!! And there is some AWESOME things :)
I have been busy with our SAL stitching the SDW sampler. I am really excited about it. I have made adjustments with the colors, (but that is nothing new right?)

I have negleted dutch beauty and E Mears, but with Thanksgiving last week, I had some extra stitching time to catch up on SDW. Maybe tonight I will see what else is looking at me with sad eyes!
Christmas time is just around the corner and I am getting excited-- even though it is cold and I am not that much of a fan (but, with the proper outerwear, I am happy--thank you (you know who you are!!!!) LOL) and the Christmas lights are popping up more and more. Christmas trees are being decorated. I feel like starting something Christmasy---but you never know :) Until next time!
Have a great week!

SDW is looking great! Isn't Nicola's challenge awesome! I keep finding more and more samplers I need to 'have'! It will be a fun year.
ReplyDeleteNicola's Scarlet Year is just a fun stitchalong isn't it???? I have already changed my mind about which sampler I am starting first :-). I am back to Dona Dorothea, which I fell in love with after seeing yours. Plus my friend Natalia is stitching it so we can compare every time we get together!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty sampler. I know several people working on this and I just love seeing the updates.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love SDW. And Nicola's challenge should be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo pleased you have joined. I managed to source the vintage meadow rue. I wonder what other SL charts you have in the basement? I keep seeing more and more deisgns I haven't noticed before.
ReplyDeleteSDW is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI am getting excited about the Scarlet Letter challenge.

Beautiful stitching! I dare not start another SL sampler until I have finished our SDW SAL - I have too many other projects on the go!
