Some Whitework

My stitching accomplishments have been way down the last few weeks. This is my progress on the practice piece from Julie Norton's Vintage Sampler.

Julie designed this for us to practice the stitches for the main piece. I guess you could say we got 2 for the price of one.





Apart from stitching, I made these pins for my mom, sisters and niece to wear on Mother's Day.

 I look at the date of my last post and I am amazed that a whole month has past and I didn't make one single, solitary post. I must admit, I have not made as much progress on my current projects as I had planned.

In the past few weeks I did take a couple of classes that I truly enjoyed. The first was Appalachian Spring a counted canvas project with Michael Boren and Carol Lake. I chose the Arabian Nights one of the nine colorways offered.
I just returned from Celebration of Needlework. While there I was able to visit with some friends I had not seen in a quite awhile. We had a great time together. I took 3 classes there Winter White with Eileen Bennett, Vintage Sampler with Julie Norton and A is for Acorn with Jackie du Plessis. Two whitework pieces and a fun Etui. Looking forward to getting those done.

Since our days are getting longer, I should be able to post some pictures by the weekend.
