Has is really been almost three months since I was here last? That definitely deserves a "yikes!" I guess I've been stitching less than I thought. :-) Which is no wonder really now that I think about everything that's been happening this year so far... and our busy time of the year is only just starting too.
I have still been stitching, though! I finished Green Tree by Carriage House Samplings this weekend, and that motivated me to get onto the blog and UPDATE. Even if it's going to be short!
Green Tree by Carriage House SamplingsFabric: R&R 40-Count Sheep's Straw Linen
Converted to Vikki Clayton silks.
Lovely Nicki passed this chart onto me after she had finished with it (thanks again Nicki). I'd love to pass it on to someone else now that I've stitched it... so please leave a comment if you'd like the chart.
I also finally finished The Violet Sampler by The Drawn Thread. This ended up taking longer than it should have, because I ran out of one of the silks and then had to wait for it to ship from the US... The sampler sadly got chopped in the scanner - didn't quite fit!
The Violet Sampler by The Drawn Therad(scan without the beads/charms)
Fabric: 32-Count Amethyst (Lakeside Linens)
Converted to Vikki Clayton silks.
I attempted to take some photos after I stitched on the beads/charms. NOT good. I definitely need some photography lessons! Why can't I take decent photos of stitching on darker fabrics?
Very bad Photos!! ;-)

Now it's time to run back out to the garden... making the most of the lovely weather while it's here!

Both your finishes are beautiful!
I'd love to have a chance at stitching CHS Green Tree if your still considering passing this one on.
Happy Stitching x
Sure, I'd love to stitch it and pass it along to someone else, especially since Carriage House designs are coming to an end.
Both pieces are just simply lovely. Wonderful work!
Your finishes look wonderful. I would love a chance to stitch Green Tree, it is a fabulous design.
Both finishes are beautiful, congratulations! Dark-background pieces are very difficult to photograph in my experience, so you did great with those shots.
I'd love to be included in the GT draw, please. And it's great to see you pop up again in blogland :-)
Everything looks wonderful, Tina! Both are lovely pieces. :D
