For Sampler September 2023, I’ll be focusing on Mabel Tuke 1779 and Margery Dean. Possibly 2 weeks on each.
Week1:
I started here with Mabel Tuke.
Mabel Tuke 1779
She is being stitched with the called for NPI silk.
This was my progress at the end of week 1.
On Saturday I had a finish!
As Life Wears Away, Carriage House Samplings.
Stitched on 40ct fabric with DMC floss.
Week 2:
This was my second week working on Mabel.
I chose to change the Algerian Eyelet stitches to Smyrna Crosses. My eyelets are not the best and this fabric is bit loose. Not sure I could get my eyelets looking as good as I would like them too.
For the next two weeks I want to work on Margery Dean. This is were I left off the last time I worked on her.
Not sure why I stopped working on her but I hope to get a few motifs done in the next two weeks.
Sampler September 2023 is over. Here is my progress on my two focus pieces.
I managed to complete most of the top section of Mabel. Just a matter of finishing up the lower case alphabet and a small border; then the fun portion on the bottom.
I worked on Margery Dean the second part of the month. The second tree on the bottom section is now complete and I worked on the left border. One more flower on that side and on to the bottom and right side flowers.
Thanks for stopping by,
Gwen
