Over one!

I started a small project last week. It's American Girl from Brightneedle's Small Samplings collection. I'm stitching it over one on 28 ct. Antique White Quaker Cloth. I plan on trying to make my first pinkeep. I got the idea from Danielle over at The Peacock's Feather. Here's a link to her pinkeep - So cute!! I just hope mine comes out half as cute. I got the pins and interfacing, I just need to get the batting and backing fabric. Here's a pic of my wip...

Stiching over one is definitely addicting! I'm already looking at other over one projects to do. I've only done a few things over one - Lavender and lace Angel faces - Angel of the Morning...

I think that's all my over one projects. Over one was definitely tricky for me at first, and then I realized it definitely helps to stitch each stitch indidually and to stitch a different way for the different threads on the linen. Wish me luck with the finishing! :)


Oh, before I go I have one more thing to add to my wish list... another Au Fil des Reves design - Accessoires Un soir d'ete.

Ashleigh from Stitched in Holland recently finished this and it is absolutely gorgeous!!! I wish I had just 1/10th the talent in finishing that she does! The fabrics she chose are so pretty! I love it!! Click here to see it on her blog.


Well, that's all for now! I went for my 28 week check up. Baby's heart is beating strong! Can't wait to see the little guy!! :)
