I'm back!

Surprise! Many moons ago I lost the ability to post here. Sometimes I actually hate computers! LOL Since I quit my job, moved to another state, and finally (just about) have my new house unpacked, I have been on the phone, and computer, with tons of people getting my access back.

I've also been stitching on Hannah again :) I promised to post an updated photo by January 1.

I have been able to read and know there was at least one finish (Hi Carol!). Anyone else still have this lovely lady to finish? Anyone else still reading?

As of last night...

13 January 2011.

Latest Progress

Spent the whole day at the LNS working on Hannah:

Latest Progress

Here's my Hannah as of yesterday:

August Progress

Today was the all-day open stitch class at the LNS, and I got a bit more done, after making a slight color change. The Anchor 368 was too light, so we changed it to the next darker shade.

A little more progress...

… on my Hannah today, at the All-Day Open Stitch Class at my LNS. I also got to see Terri's and I sure hope she posts an updated pic. I really love her colors!!

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,
heidi

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
