It has been a while and I have something to show you. Saturday we got together at Marjan's house with the Sampler Guild. The weather was glorious and we managed to sit in the garden and stitch.
It is not my birthday until next Sunday but Britta and Carol surprised me with lovely gifts.
Britta made me a Stacy Nash roll, it is an on-line class and just adorable and all stitched over one! my favorite if someone else stitches it LOL. Isn't it lovely when your friends stitch you a treasure!!
The Cherub's back, and the SN needleroll rolled up.
The Stacy Nash Needle roll, it is only 6" x 2.5"!!
The back,when it is rolled up is 2", gorgeous fabric too and primitive stitches all around, the string has got 2 rusty bells at the end.
Here you can see how small it is, compared to the original one which is Britta's which is also over one!
Carol's cherub, stitched on pink over-dyed linen, I was so excited, forgot to ask Carol which linen she used.
It has got a little bell on the side, cute!

Have you seen Sarah Harris SAL on Needleprint's website? well I could not resist doing this one, I have got so many Quaker patterns in my stash but never stitched one. It's a good idea to finally get rid of a lot of DMC threads which I hardly use now. I will update here as well as the Sarah Harris SAL blog, you can click on the sampler in the sidebar to see everyone's progress as well.
This is the beginning and I will not be using the very bright colours, but substitute them as I go along.
An update also on my Hillside Samplings Folk art sewing roll which I started last year, it's nearly finished apart from the sheep, and will do that on my holiday which starts Thursday for about 10 days.
Thank you so much for leaving your comments on my last post, it might be the way I write English!!, but I did not stitch the mini sampler!! So sorry if I mislead you and it was not my intention to do so.

What wonderful presents!!! Happy early birthday to you! I love how small that sewing roll is! And your Sarah Harris is so pretty! I want to stitch that one too. I'm sort of Quakered out though, so we'll see what happens. :D Glad you all had a nice get-together! And don't worry about the over one 50ct piece. I thought you were saying you didn't stitch it, but for some reason, that's not how I phrased it. lol!
Wonderful gifts - so well done :)
Oh, you lucky, lucky woman! That is just a gor-geous gift! SO jeaulous!!! I think I will go hunting for that chart now :o)
Ah yes, no matter how often I look at her, Sarah remains a beauty!
I know it's early, but happy birthday :o)

I hope you will have a great birthday next Sunday

Lovely gifts Bertie, the Stacy Nash is sweet as it has a great beehive and bees. Your folk art sewing roll is coming along well, mine is one of my favourite pieces. I was nervous about pulling a thread when assembling but it makes for a really neat finish.
Happy birthday! Lovely presents!
What beautiful gifts you have received! Enjoy!!
Happy Birthday! Hope you will have a wonderful day on sunday.
Fantastic presents! Lucky you!! Everything is exquisite. I love your WIPs, too. I haven't looked too much at Sarah Harris because, like you, I have a bunch of Quaker patterns. Seeing your WIP makes me think twice, though!
Hope you have a fantastic birthday!
Gelukkige verjaardag nog, sorry heb nog niet al de post bekeken en zo.
We zijn terug van dinsdag maar met die hitte hier, wij hebben hittegolf, heb ik nog niet veel achter de computer gezeten.
Wat heb je weer leuke dingen gekregen!!
Ja onze vakantie is goed geweest, de eerste week hadden we de Mistral, dat was minder, maar de tweede week hadden we beter weer!
Lieve groeten
Liliane
