Yesterday I started working on my Peaches and Cream Sampler by Victoria Sampler. It is an online class that will last over four weekends. I still have lots of eyelets to do, but I did finish the satin stitches in the middle, smyrnas, and mosaic stitches. There is also some backstitching as well. You can see what it will look like, if you click on the link. So far it is mostly ecru floss that I have used, so it is no easy to see. I did use my Q-snaps to stitch this. I think it is really a matter of taste and how everyone learned when it comes to using some sort of a frame. Thanks for all the input by the way! I think I will likely stick with stitching in hand, but it is nice to use a frame for specialty stitches like eyelets. I also started working on one of my Valentine's Days projects. I am stitching on 36 count, and some of the design calls for over-one stitching, so I hope it doesn't take me too long to finish. I won't be able to share these until later, but I think they will be very pretty if I manage to get them done in time!
The new Nordic Needle catalog also came in the mail today. I have only taken a quick browse though it, but it looks like they have some nice things. I see they are now selling knitting supplies as well. I think I will take it to work tomorrow, and really look at it then on my lunch break. I hope to get a few stitches in tonight on something!
