For those of you wanting to purchase The Examplarery’ s Frances Burwell sampler,
There are a few options : - you can have your Local Needlework Shop ( LNS ) order it from Joanne Harvey; you can order it via an online LNS, or you can order it directly from her ( although I think she prefers one goes through shops and does not have a website ). You can order it , like I did, from Colonial Williamsburg (- search online for : shopcolonialwilliamsburg and then type in the name of the sampler ‘Frances Burwell’ ).
And here is a quick photo journey through some of things I am keeping busy with this weekend :
Thinking about technique and colors and preparing my next Japanese Embroidery project ,
God willing
Facebook ‘reminded’ me earlier this past week that it has been three years since I finished stitching Frances Cheyney .... it now lingers safely in my one of my ‘finished embroidery cabinet drawers... one day I will make the time to finally get all the projects in the cabinets framed and on some wall in the home or office ... some day !
Just now, I am just grateful I can continue to enjoy my passion of just the process of stitching .... grateful that despite time and quirky health challenges these past years, I have been able to start and finish quite a few projects in various techniques... I realize I did not ‘blog’ or ‘broadcast’ all my embroidery.
Just some progress photos on Frances Burwell and thanks to a snow day...
Now am on the last band and ‘almost done’ with this sampler which has pleasantly surprised me with the use of color, simple stitches and textures , and simple cotton threads (DMC in the kit )
Make each day count -
Time flies and waits for no one ....
I have learned to appreciate and make the most of every day!
Grateful that I am blessed with a profession I truly enjoy, and that I continue to be interested in
ALL my old hobbies and also for the new ones I am discovering.
