I showed you a look at my new stitching project last week…

I’ve actually had the pattern for several months. I went looking for a Quaker-style sampler ages ago. I’ve seen a few of you do them, and I just love the simplicity of a single colour project. Well this popped up in my search, and you know… I just HAD to have it. It’s not exactly a Quaker… but it’s a definitely me! If you look closely you’ll see it’s actually two colours – black with a little orange.

The original pattern was done on 14 count aida, but I really liked the look of my butterflies done on 18 ct, so I decided to stick with that.

Burton and Lemmy helped me work on it several evenings over vacation.

We made good progress. I’d say we’re about 50% done the first section. But I’ve got socks to knit, so stitching will once again be relegated to weekend only. That should still give me enough time to get it done by the spooky season!
