I had received some gorgeous squares for the Fair Square Round #23 from Kim V. They have swavorski crystals on them and are beautifully stitched. I finally finished them up.
This next piece, I had started some time ago but I did not like the thread I had chose. I had to rip it out and started again with a different thread. So its a new start to me.
This is With My Needle's "Mrs. Waddelows Huswif" stitched with Belle Soie Creme de Menthe on 32ct. French Vanilla linen. I am so happy with it. Now I have to go find 6 different fabrics so I can finish it.
Last Friday, I received the 2nd part of Mamen's Hardanger-a-long. Yesterday I finished it.
There is a total of 6 parts to this and they come out every 2 weeks. If you love hardanger, go to Mamen's blog. She does gorgeous work.
Now, to the title of this post. I always have to kind of "re-group" when I finish something before I go on to the next. This time it is taking particularly longer. I am just not sure what I want to work on. I'm sure the problem is that I have way too many things to choose from.
I am starting to see some of the finished "Soar" Samplers. I am now kicking myself for not buying this pattern, she only sold 100. I would be interested in borrowing, trading or buying one if there is anyone out there that would be interested.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching :)

I love your stitching.
Can you tell me the measurement of the fabric you used for the HAL? I wanna make sure I start on a piece large enough... doing my best to translate the emails and instructions. TY for your help. I wanna get this started since I am on bed rest for a few more days.
Está precioso Jill, felicidades!!

Lovely way you finished the squares. LOVE Mrs Waddelows Huswif. Gorgeous color. It will look fantastic when finished.
Beautiful little peacock! You're doing a great job on the hardanger piece and thanks for showing it. I have signed up for this as I've been looking for some time for a topper for a new cradenza, this should work beautifully.
Jill, I'm at my Mom's house so I don't have my "regular" computer....and I don't think I have your e-mail. I saw your comment on my Soar Sampler and every intention of contacting you when I got home. I want to stitch it again for myself, as the one I finished is for my Mom...however not soon - as stitching on black made me cross-eyed for the time being :) If you'd like to borrow my pattern, I'm more than willing to send it to you as soon as I get home. E-mail me at if you would be interested in borrowing it: thetwistedstitcher@comcast.net
What a gorgeous finish and that hardanger piece will be spectacular!
Beautiful F&S you received!
Beautiful stitching. I love the Peacock squares you received and finished. Lovely. As for Soar. I have been seeing it too and love the look. Good luck getting it.
