Feeling Patriotic

I took a break from sisters birth sampler to sneak in some stars and stripes stitching! The Maiden

Just monkeying around!

Making some progress on  sister's monkey birth sampler!
I am trying a new way of stitching with varigated threads where you outline the area to be stitched and then work from the outline in towards the center. So far I love it, and it prevents lines of color appearing unnaturally in your stitching. Who wants a stripped monkey? The Maiden

Still headless..


I figured I better post some progress pictures before I  finish! The Mother was right, the retreat was so inspiring!

Get Kraken!

I was not the only  one to join Maynia at the last hour! The Mother has started Get Kraken by Ink Circles, stitched on 28ct Rhiannon by Stepanie.
While we were in Texas she kitted up this gem with a cotton floss conversion using Weeks Dye Works threads.
