March's Daffodil

Well, I've kitted up Cottage Garden Sampling's "March's Daffodil" and have begun to stitch it.  This design has the most complex border yet.  Good fun! 

Primrose Tuesday

I finished "February's Primrose" the 2nd in the new series by Cottage Garden Samplings. 

Design - "February's Primrose"

Designer - Cottage Garden Samplings

Fabric - 32 count White Chocolate linen

Fibers - DMC, GAST, & WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads

Started - 13 March 2013

Completed - 20March 2013

Another fun border - who knew borders could be fun?  I like the crown and key motifs.  Plus an appropriate sentiment for February.  The colors used for the flowers are lovely - my photo does not do them justice. 

February's Primrose - Progress Report

Here's my progress on "February's Primrose".  The flowers are quite lovely.  Now to stitch the sentiment.  "March's Daffodil" arrived in the mail, but I find I need to order the fabric.

One year ago today March's Daffodils were buried under 8" of snow.

It's hard to believe that a year ago I woke up to this landscape.  It is highly unusual to have a snow this late in Winter.  It was probably a once-in-a-lifetime event. 

Cover Page

I finished the cover page last week and am planning to start January's chart soon.  I'm trying to get a long time WIP finished first before starting a new one.  Easier said than done!

February's Primrise - The Border

Sunday was Green in many ways...

Stitching Green Things...

I've begun stitching Cottage Garden Samplings "February's Primrose".  Vinniey did it again - another fun and interesting border.  Vinniey has a Facebook page and was kind enough to feature my January finish there.  She also has a blog which details her newest releases.  For anyone interested in stitching the series, Parsley has started a blog called "My Garden Journal SAL".  I've joined the SAL - thanks Parsley!

February's Primrose - A Start

Here's the chart, the linen, and the fibers for Cottage Garden Sampling's "February's Primrose".  To my eye, the flowers on the chart look nothing like  primroses, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief for artistic license (and also because they are such pretty flowers too!)  The daffodils in "March's Daffodil" really do look like daffodils.
