I've made very little progress on my Carriage House Samplings cushion. It may be a small project, but stitched on 40 count linen, there is still a lot to fill in it seems. I'm also not overly pleased with how my stitches are looking, but I think once it is actually finished into a cushion, I will like it much more than I do now.
I had been thinking I wouldn't mind working on something summer-y since the weather is getting warmer and it finally feels like summer. I pulled out a Birds of a Feather chart called "No Bees, No Honey". I love bee motifs and it's been ages since I stitched one. I will have to iron my fabric as it is quite limp and I have a hard time working on limp fabric.
I also pulled out a project I had started ages ago, but didn't get many stitches in. Again it is a Birds of a Feather design called "Land That I Love". It calls for an ivory fabric, but I picked one I had on hand that is closer to a light tan (sorry the color is not true here--I couldn't get the light quite right). I'm not sure I like it as much now as I did when I started it, but I'm not sure I have any ivory fabric to begin again.
I'm being very difficult, aren't I? Not terribly pleased with anything? I think that's why I've not been stitching much lately (and posting here even less!). I want to stitch, but I can't sem to find anything to settle down on that I actually enjoy working on!
