A bit more progress

I got a few more stitches into my Hannah today during my (and Melissa's) LNS' monthly open stitch class.

I started!

I actually got started on Hannah! Vintage Country Mocha Lugana 25, over 1 with 1 strand. I started with 3013, but after a few stitches Melissa and I decided that would be much too light, so I frogged that and switched to 3012. The quarter is a needlemagnet made for me by a woman at our LNS.

Poor Neglected Hannah

Congrats to Heidi on her very lovely finish!!! My poor Hannah has gone through more fabric-and-fiber decisions! It looks like I've finally settled on Zweigart Country Mocha Vintage in Lugana 25, with DMC 3013 for the primary and Anchor 368 for the second color. And I'm taking her on the cruise with me.

she's done!

and I'm very pleased with how she came out.



Now to decide about the framing and wether or not I'll be adding glass, etc.
I'm really happy I made this sampler, it was fun to do and I"m ready to pick up the needle and continue with another quaker that has been waiting in the wings, Ann Grimshaw.

cheers,
heidi

still having fun..

with Hannah, and between spending lots of time up in the attic this week, I'm still managing to progress on this wonderful sampler!



Wishing you all a very creative weekend,

progress on Hannah

Hope you all had very good holidays and very best wishes for the New year!
During all the dinners and social commitments I surprisingly had time to make some progress on Hannah and here's a shot....



Hope the New Year bring you good health, lots of laughter and many hours of beautiful stitching!

Only one motif left!

This is Miss Hannah as of today - there is one motif missing at the bottom right hand corner and once this is in place she is finished! I will miss her!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

just plain forgot!

Hi!

Ditsy me wanted to stitch the Hannah Beeby sampler, was graciously invited to post my progress on this blog, and then clean forgot to post here!  My apologies.

Here's a shot of progress, the previous posts you will find on my blog.  

I'm having a lot of fun with this one, and it's just zipping along and can't wait to share the progress that has been made since taking this photo.  

Off to continue preparing for the holidays, and wishing you all very happy holidays and good health, lots of laughter and stitching for the New Year.

hugs from Holland,

heidi

Melissa's Hannah Update

Well, I think I've finally gotten caught up on life enough after getting home from vacation on Sunday to actually post my progress photo for the SAL this month. I had a great time on vacation and actually did get in some good stitching time since I was vacationing with Terri and Tracy both of whom are also in this SAL.

We all took along our Hannah samplers to work on them since it was the SAL week. I actually didn't make as much progress as I had thought, but I kept getting distracted by the beauty of Hawaii. :-)

I freely admit that I've not worked on this piece each month since we started the SAL several months back, but I have worked on it during each of the past two months. My goal is to start working on it each month going forward.

Anyway, here is my latest progress photo. You can click the image for a larger view.



The little pin cushion in the photo is one that I picked up in a local Hawaiian quilt shop in Honolulu. They had some GORGEOUS quilts in there and it was really tempting to bring one home with me, but I managed to settle for just getting the pin cushion instead. :-)

Another update

An update!

Coming along nicely!

Another motif started!

It seems as though I am the only one stitching this - a SAL for one! 

And I stitched on the right week too!

I put a few more stitches into Hannah this past week. I am so pleased with how she is turning out. I would love to see other people's progress!

Just a bit more

I stitched some more over the weekend - not much - a bit more of the alphabets and a start on another motif.

Where is everyone else? Has everyone given up on the SAL?  Please post your photo or just post to let me know I am not alone here!
