This evening brought me to my craft room where I decided to finally start Gathering Honey. Which also meant I had to gather supplies! I already had the fabric and floss, and luckily had the magazine it's in. I had the magazine years ago, but for whatever reason got rid of it. I found it again at a book sale, for only $1.75, phew!
I have no idea what fabric it is, but I know it's 28 count.
Here I go...
Earlier today my stitching ground was the sofa where I finished this little guy.
So where are you stitching today?
What a cute little penguin. That honey sampler is going to be beautiful. Not sure what I'm stitching tonight, probably The Ferry Farm Cherry Sampler by Homespun Elegance. It is fascinating and all about the family of our first president.
ReplyDeleteYour sampler is going to be amazing, the colours look great. Cute penguin too. Today I'll be working on the Seasonal Challenge at Needlecraft Haven and maybe sorting out a quilt project.
ReplyDeleteThat penguin is adorable! I had that old magazine and gifted it to a British friend several years ago for that very same sampler she wanted to stitch, and she did! It is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch your new project grow. Love your adorable penguin!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the cute finish and nice start Astrid. I either sit at the kitchen table or in my chair in the living room to stitch.

You certainly are organized! The penguin is so adorable and you are taking on a huge project!!! No stitching for me today, painting doors and trim and I much rather be stitching! Mary
ReplyDeleteGathering Honey is gorgeous. I can't wait to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little penguin.
Your skiing penguin is adorable - great finish! Enjoy stitching Gathering Honey - I've always thought that was a pretty piece.
ReplyDeleteNice project. Pretty colours! I have some of those early magazines! My stitching for the Valentine’s Day Hop (flowers on black Aida) was a pattern from the very first magazine in the series.
ReplyDeleteLove the penguin, he’s soo cute!
Hugs,

I remember seeing your new start as a finish on Jo's blog, its a lovely design.
ReplyDeleteSweet penguin, he's so cute.
Julie is right, I stitched that one for a friend! She had given up cross stitch and gave me a very large box of stash in exchange for stitching Gathering Honey for her. It's a lovely design and I look forward to seeing yours grow!
ReplyDeleteYour new project looks lovely it will be fun to watch it develop. I am digging your stitching area. I need to share my area soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - I am having thread envy! You have so many threads and so beautifully organised! Loving the little penguin too x
ReplyDeleteOh Astrid the little penguin is so adorable. Love him. Sorry I'm catching up with comments...I've had that terrible virus going around and horrible sinus on top of it. I have alot of work to do to see everyone but I'll get there. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
