Amazon April check In
This month's 'Theme-a-licious' is Amazon April, Heather's guidance was 'Dip your needle into the vast swath of fabric dedicated to your BIGGEST projects!' So that made it easy to choose what work on, my two largest projects - the Scottish reproduction Sampler from the Goodhart Samplers book by Needleprint and Anniversary Roses by Forget Me Nots in Stitches.
On Scottish Sampler I continued to work on the border, I'm about a third of the way round now.

And to give you a better idea of the size of this sampler (you can see my previous progress here)

I reached a major milestone on Anniversary Roses, I finished the band I started back in October! I discovered more counting errors that I had to fudge around because frogging would have meant pulling out the whole band and there was no way I could contemplate doing that, it would have been soul destroying.

I'm a new follower of your blog.
Your stitching is beautiful and Anniversary Roses is just so pretty.
Happy stitching!
That Scottish Sampler border is very pretty; can't wait to see what's in the center. =)
Blessings!
