A New Project Started...

I promise I won't bore you all by posting a picture of each row I stitch in this sampler, but as I have been so excited to start this--here it is.  These are my first stitches in the Spanish Geometric Sampler by The Needle's Content.  I am starting this in the middle of ths fabric and working my way up and out, then I will finish the bottom half.  Even though Caron silks are pretty expensive, this is not too bad of a splurge since it doesn't call for too many colors.  The silks are lovely and soft--sorry the scan isn't too nice.  It is 32ct fabric, and I am just using one ply, but I think the coverage should be okay.  I can't wait until I get a bit farther and have some of the middle squares stitched at least.  I am so happy to finally be working on a Spanish style sampler.  Now it seems I keep seeing more and more of them--both original designs and reproductions.  I am really glad designers have taken an interest in them as they are really so lovely!  I think there is another Spanish style sampler by The Needle's Content called The Spanish Flower Sampler that I will probably have to invest in as well!  And I better not even mention all the other new ones that are out...
