Early morning light ...

My favorite way to start a Sunday ... watching the early morning light dance across my needlework and see the silk threads gleam golden.  It is more spectacular with filament silk but I was working on a simple sampler this morning... trying to solve some color and charting issues ...
the ‘real’ camera was upstairs and sadly the IPhone did not capture the glimmering silk.... but see the long shadow a small needle cast in the second photo ...

I know I am woefully behind in updating you all here ... had every
intention to get this done on January 1, then February 1 .... maybe it will be
a long post on March 1 .... no promises though 😉
Anyway, hope this finds you all well,  hope you are enjoying your times with needle and thread ....
I have had some excellent experiences that will take time to describe.
At the present moment I am trying to figure out some details on what I consider simple but charming,
mainly cross stitch samplers - things that were supposed to be fun and easy are actually taking up more ‘thinking time’ thus  slowing down my progress on what I call ‘easy stitching‘.

Anyway, just wanted to post briefly - am still around.

Wonderful to 'see' you Nupur, and that sampler looks gorgeous.
I have been enjoying stitching, and am currently working on finishing (looooong overdue) an Ukrainian Sampler.

Hi, Nupur, Your Ann Dale is lovely! Have you put her on a high-count linen so she won’t be as “big” as Theresa says she is? On another note, do you have any thoughts on queen stitch and thread path for multiple-queen-stitch flowers? I could use some advice. It’s always great when you post; looking forward to a little catching-up with you and your work! Kristy

Hope you are well - glad you are back to doing some needlework - always good for the soul...

Kristy - it was nice talking to you in person on the phone - can’t believe we spent that much time!
Hope that my input helped you in general and that the descriptions on how to stitch that area you were wondering about is completed by now ?
By the way, your drum on Instagram looks nice - but you know that I still haven’t understood that platform yet ... anyway, happy to help and thanks for commenting.
