Isabella Johnstone SAL : Week #1 and #2
Here is Isabella Johnstone SAL with Terri. Actually from today Week #4 is started, so I'm very behind...



Here is a photo of Week #1. Normally I don't like to stitch leaves, though this is fun.



Here is a photo of Week #2, though I found a big mistake and had to frog them, as you can see the right side leaves and stems were already frogged...

And today I finshed Week #2. A photo isn't showing the colours justice, though it's so beautiful sampler. I'm going to stitch Week #3 and Mary Glover SAL, too.







I decided to delete my recent posts about disaster.
Thank you for friends concerning about this issue and thank you for your advices and opinons.
I appreciate for you all.

Hi, Terri made a schedule for our Isabella Johnstone SAL! Thank you so much, Terri! Here are our plan! I haven't started Isabella yet, though she has already started and made a good progress! Oh I should hurry! :D


Week 1 - stitch the top, left and right side borders down to the eyelet stitches.

Week 2 - Stitch the top alphabet section down to the eyelet border (just above the cow)

Week 3 - left and right side borders down to the Isabella Johnstone.

Week 4 - stitch the eyelets and cow/grass section.

Week 5 - Stitch left and right borders to the bottom

Week 6 - Stitch the flowers and initials just below the cow and the flowers to the left of Isabella's name.

Week 7 - Stitch Isabella's name/date section and the flowers in the bottom left corner

Week 8 - stitch the flowers on the bottom right and the rest of the border at the bottom and we're done!

Anna Millet, 1895 SAL with Carol R. #1 [Photo Edited]
Hi, thanks for your visit and thank you for your comment! I always appreciate for your words toward to my works, health, etc...


By the way, finally I can share some of my progress photos of Anna Millet, 1895 SAL with Carol R.. As for the SAL, I've shown my thread and fabric for it on the earlier post, but I have changed them...

Here is my new thread and fabric for Anna Millet, 1895. Belle Soie silk "Cranberry" on 40ct Wichelt (Sandstone / tea dyed).

Why I've changed the materials is... the linen I was stitching wasn't 40ct. I was thinking it was 40ct, but it was actually 36ct, so when I stitched with DMC, it looked very skimpy... I didn't want to undo, but decided to re-stitch on 40ct.

 [Photo is Edited on 8th of Mar.]




It's quite taking time to stitch along with overdyed thread (silk is fantastic touch!!), though now I'm feeling to finish this beautifully.


Carol R. has stitched almost half way, but as she knows that I've been doing re-stitch, she is waiting for me to catch her up!
Thank you, Carol! 　I'm going to work hard on this Anna Millet!

Thank you for your visit!
Take care and have a lovely weekend.
