I stitched a little bit more on Lemon Meringue Sampler last night. There will be yellow beads in the middle of the green row. I love stitching on this piece. It is just so relaxing and fun to stitch. Tonight I will be stitching some more on Bay Sampler. I just can’t seem to put that one down. I had to move it off of my q-snap onto a scroll frame because I have outgrown all of my q-snaps. I’ve only stitched in hand for small pieces, so I am leery of trying it on such a big piece. And after a while of stitching in hand, my hand starts to hurt…so I’ll try the scroll frame and see how I do. I just love how colorful it is! Speaking of colorful, I have some new stash. Months ago, I printed out the freebie from The Sampler Girl called Camille’s French Sampler. I just purchased the Vikki Clayton threads for it. I don’t the the freebie up on SG’s site anymore though, she may only keep them up for a short while. I keep thinking this would look pretty on a pink or lavender hand-dyed. Opinions?

Maybe a pale green even? Anyway, thank you all for your continued compliments on Bay Sampler and my new quilt start (that is gonna be fun!). I pick up my next quilt block this weekend. And speaking of the weekend, I have a full one planned with birthday get-togethers since my birthday is on a Tuesday. I am also taking the day off on Friday, so I will have a long weekend. And I plan to stitch all day on Friday…now, what to stitch?!
I am grateful for free evenings at home.
Oh, what absolutely gorgous colors! That is beautiful floss!
Even better… a long weekend and a free Friday!!
It is looking great. I really like the yellow in it and I am not much for yellow in my stitching:)
I think I’m just going to refer to it as the “cheerful sampler” from now on. It’s so sunny and happy. 🙂 I love the VC colors that you ordered – yum! I think your thoughts on fabric color would be good. Either that or a neutral. Any will work, as long as they don’t clash directly with any of the thread colors. In cases where I’m worried about that, I usually lean towards paler colors.
Lemon is such a happy color!
Lemon Meringue Sampler is so pretty and colorful. Nice stitching. Pretty colors for your freebie.
Your Lemon Meringue sampler is looking lovely Michelle! The colours are so fresh and bright 🙂
Nice colours for the freebie – I think something like Waterlily Linen (a very pale green) would work nicely with those threads. Looking forward to seeing what you choose 🙂
I do like that Lemon Meringue sampler!
Wow your Lemon sampler is so colourful! Watch out with the pale green your beige/off white may disappear!
