Finished!It's finished!! The last stitch went in at 9:15 last night. I've put my initials in it but decided to leave others out. So, here is my Beatrix Potter Quaker sampler, started on 1st January 2010 and finished over a year and 7 months later!
Thank you so much, Rachael, for managing this blog and to everyone for the support over the last 19 months.WelshHelenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01705024060758946291noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848053421804684451.post-48911148270242279972011-06-07T17:15:00.000+01:002011-06-07T17:15:33.151+01:00Helen's progress (at last!)I've hardly done any stitching since February but have done a little more on Beatrix.

Frankly I count myself lucky that I haven't lost any of the beads or threads.
Still Beatrix is getting there --
I have even finished the motif that the above picture only shows as a bare start --
Good luck everyone!Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16927472981531670361noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848053421804684451.post-53247009167387012152011-02-24T22:15:00.007+00:002011-02-24T22:27:00.058+00:00January and February ProgressIn January and February I managed one whole motif as well as finishing another and starting two more. I have now done all around the outside and need to move into the middle. Actually I just need to stitch a bit more on Beatrix than I did these past two months. In my defence I have been busy with pre-stitching for two classes that I have now taken, so hopefully, more time for the sampler.

When I saw Little House Needleworks new design "Hillside Travelers", I knew I had to have it. So I got the chart and all the fibers and a cut of fabric. I also picked out the newest Anniversaries of the Heart pattern - Pumpkin farm from Blackbird Designs. Thank you again Rachael and Anita. I love my stash!!!

I am now hoping to finish Miss Potter by the end of 2011 and am very glad that the SAL is still going. So who else is still out there?Congratulations to all those who have finished, I have just spent the last half hour catching up on the blog and admiring all the Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11448692128312707886noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848053421804684451.post-47652619116442918522011-01-05T12:21:00.000+00:002011-01-05T12:21:59.293+00:00Anyone want to join us?I think it may be Helen and myself, but if there is anyone else who put BP on there UFO plie who wants to get it finished, or someone who wants to start it. Or even if you are just stitching part of it.
Please let me know and I will add you to the blog.
And I am going to try my best to get this finished this year.

It's amazing how different one design can look on various fabrics and colourways.
I've finally finished the border and have now introduced some more shades of blue, though I'm not too sure of the brighter one I've used for that larger motif - ah, well, I'm not going to frog it and may just limit its use to one or two more motifs :-)

I've also chosen a few more blues to add to the mix for the centre motifs - let's hope that they fit in with the current shades!
