Even Badder!

I was stitching away on Quaker Christmas and my eyes were getting really tired. I wanted to keep stitching, but all my current projects are either on 40 ct. or on black, so I decided to start Little House Needleworks "Brave Hearts."

Little House Needleworks "Brave Hearts"

I found a piece of 32 ct. Examplar big enough, so I decided to go with that. I'm using two strands of Belle Soie over two. Here's another little progress pic of Quaker Christmas. I got just a little bit more done before I got too tired.

  1. Oh I just love seeing the things that you are stitching on!! You are really quite the inspiration to me!! I personally wouldn't feel guilty at all for starting several things! It is a fun thing and keeps the stitching interesting! I love this new one by LHN and also have that chart. That little lamb is just adorable!I love the color of fabric you use too! I am going to have to order me some 40 ct fabric as my LNS doesn't have much to choose from. Keep up the creative stitching and just have fun and keep inspiring all of us with your beautiful stitching!! Debby :)

  3. The little sheep looks so cute! I love this pattern. Can you tell me if there is a conversion in the pattern to Crescent Colours floss instead of the silks? Thanks, Danielle

  6. Oh wow, what an inspiration you are...you are the worse enabler ever, but I love it! I think you need to get sales credit from my LNS because what you stitch I go order from them! Thanks for bringing me back from the stitching doldrums!

  7. You are the most enabling stitcher ever, LOL! I love seeing your works in progress, they are very inspiring and I've stitched some designs I would have ignored otherwise. Excellent photos too.
    36 count has been the finest count for me so far. Any particular linen brand better than another with 40 count?
