My most exciting stitching news this week is that I finally started And They Sinned by Examplar Dames on Saturday. This is quite a large Adam and Eve sampler, which I'm stitching on 36 ct. Lakeside Linen in Vintage Sand Dune, using Gentle Art Sampler Threads. I love the fabric, and I think I will really enjoy stitching this piece!

In addition to starting And They Sinned, I also received another chart, SDW A German Band Sampler circa 1710 from The Scarlet Letter. This is my first Scarlet Letter chart, and it's beautifully done, so I have a feeling it won't be my last. SDW is similar in size to ATS, and I'll be stitching it as part of Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year celebration. If you'd like to know more about that, follow the link on the right hand side of this page.
Finally, our new recliners were delivered on Thursday. Mine works perfectly with the Mark 2 floor frame, and I was able to put it in the same place as the old one, so I still have the lighting that works so well for me.
That is a great pattern and you are of to an awesome start:)
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa,
ReplyDeleteThose are two beautifull works. It seems to me that you already know what to do the coming 2-3 years ;-)?
Have fun!

Theresa! I'm so excited to see your And They Sinned coming to life! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love your new start Theresa. I toyed with the idea of stitching that a few years ago and decided it was way tooooo big on 14ct. I will enjoy watching yours grow. What does SDW stand for?

You certainly got a lot done on ATS for just starting it this week! I'm glad you have the perfect new recliner, a wonderful Mark II floor stand, and great lighting so you can stitch stitch stitch and share progress photos with all of us in blogland!
ReplyDeleteI can see you needles are going to fly on ATS, enjoy Teresa.
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa, I am so glad you mentioned that you are also working on ATS on a recent Scarlet Letter comment...it helped me find you. I have ordered ATS also. I am a relatively new sampler stitcher but I have admired ATS for years. I am doing it on an 18 count aida since I am a little unsure of my linen skills. It will be nice to watch another stitchers progress on this lovely sampler. You have a great start.
