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.

Nice progress on both pieces. I'm glad you were able to fudge and not have to frog. That would have been so discouraging.

I'm so glad you were able to figure out hope to fudge that band on Anniversary Roses!! It looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors!

That Scottish Sampler border is very pretty; can't wait to see what's in the center. =)
Two lovely designs. The "roses" one is very pretty.

Your Anniversary Roses is stunning! Can't wait to see it finished, and I'm sure you can't either. I have been a regular reader of your blog for a while now and have recently started one of my own. Hope you get a chance to stop by. OneXataTime.wordpress.com Thanks!

Both are beautiful but there is something special about Anniversary Roses. This has to go onto my wish list.
