Fancy Blackett & a New Start

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  It was very windy again here along with rain and hail in the evenings.  Yesterday Talia and I got our flowers and vegetables planted.  Here is hoping that they will grow.  I know we might have to cover them a few nights, but it feels so good to have it done.


I am so happy to share Fancy Blackett and the Butter Churn.  She was so much fun to stitch.  I used a piece of 32ct. unknown fabric from my stash and the recommended DMC floss. She will eventually be sent to my finisher, but I want to stitch up a few other pieces to send with her so she doesn't have to make the trip along.

Since Fancy Blackett is done, I needed a new start.  There is so much I want to start, but then I remembered I had listed some stitching goals for April and one of them was to stitch up Prim School of Needlework from Pineberry Lane. (just a note, this chart was designed exvlusively for the Prim Sisters Club through Country Sampler in Spring Green, WI.)  

It came as a kit, with the pattern, floss, fabric, finishing fabrics and instructions.  I can tell you already, this is such a pleasure to stitch. It was very hard to put it down last night to go to bed.  If it weren't for housework and such, I would be stitching on it right now, but alas.  There is always this afternoon and evening.  I will keep you posted on this one.


I have to run.  The washer is beeping, telling me is done.  Got to get the sheets in the dryer so I can make the kiddos beds later.


Till Next Time
Happy Stitching
