A few days ago a reader left a comment that when I work on G. Leger again, she'll get hers out and work on it with me. Thanks Barbara! When y'all comment about my stitching (or lack of stitching!), it inspires me to do better!
I sat down and made a list of the projects I'll work on through June so if you see any of these that you would like to start or pull yours out and work on, please do it and let me know that you're doing it.
Now that I'm stitching on one project for a week, starting each Monday with a different project, these are the ones on the radar (and on my calendar in red ink!) for the next 7 Mondays (because June has 5 Mondays).
May 18 - Prairie Life Sampler (Heartstring Samplery)
May 25 - Autumn Moon (Plum Street)
June 1 - G. Leger (Reflets de Soie)
June 8 - Winter Rose Manor (Brenda Gervais)
June 15 - Noel Sampler (Brenda Gervais)
June 22 - New Year Sampler (Owl Forest Embroidery) Etsy - pdf
June 29 - The Lord's Prayer (Lila's Studio)
I've linked all to 123 Stitch or to Brenda Gervais' website because I don't think 123 Stitch carries all of her charts. Some of these - if you prefer a PDF, The Lord's Prayer and Prairie Life Sampler can be found on the designers' websites or on their Etsy sites.
With our mail being . . I want to be kind . . not so great, and since I stitch using the Markup app and have to make a PDF anyway, I much prefer to order the PDF vs. the paper chart and waiting/hoping it gets here.
Thank you for linking the projects. I love seeing them. I started New Year Sampler and have it about half finished. I haven't felt called to work on it since then. It may be a case of offering it up to someone else. So, please post pictures and maybe I'll get inspired again! :)
ReplyDeleteI do hope you will get inspired to work on it. I think it's so pretty!
DeleteI've been wanting to start Noel Sampler for a long time so I think I'll get it kitted up to work on it with you starting June 15!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Now I'm going to have to stitch 24/7 but you'll probably start and finish within a week! :)
DeleteI actually did pull fabric and floss for it and got a few stitches in this afternoon (5/17/26). I'm just pulling flosses from my VC silk stash and I'm not sure of my fabric choice but I think it will be okay.
DeleteYou have some beautiful pieces there... and it makes me feel good to know that someone else has started multiple samplers.... I've got a couple I'd like to get back to this year and complete... fingers crossed... I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress. happy stitching-!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love all the pieces but I guess I love starting new projects more! Good luck getting some of yours finished!
