WMN and HoHRH Progress

I decided to work on "With My Needle" yesterday during the day and then I worked on HoHRH at night. I stitched as late as possible and then finished up block three today. I was determined to get that block finished before the end of March. I had to catch up with Margie too! :) She's using NPI Silk - it's amazing how different our blocks look!

Well, the kids are off school today, so we are just hanging out and relaxing! We may go to the grocery store later - so exciting! :) I'm trying to decide what I want to stitch tonight - maybe my nephew's sampler? I really should get back to it! Write later!

Edited to add... I almost forgot! I also worked on "This is the Day" the other night. I finished the numbers and started filling in the white around them.

This is the Day as of 3/25/09

  9. First of all, love the color of your QC. What count fabby is that?
    Your stitching always looks great and the designs are always fabulous. I am going to start VOHRH and am wondering if I should go with NPI silks. I have to go check out margie's blog. Your photo's alway show fantastic color.

  11. Wow. You rock! I love your WMN... I haven't been all that pushed on this until I've seen your WIP pics and now think I'm going to cave and stitch it. Love your HoHRH! I can't believe how much progress you've made on your, erm, TitD, too! ;) You're going to have several sampler walls before you know it!

  12. They both look totally wonderful. I didn't know what you were using for HOHRH and you are right they both look very different. I am going to be using Vikki Clayton's silks as soon as they arrive. I can't wait! Lots of Love Patti xxx

  21. Your WIPs look terrific. You have been stitching up a storm on them.
    I also stitch my Houses with DMC and have often noticed how different it looks than the ones stitched with NPI silks or with HDF silks. It's always amazing to me how much the choice of threads can change the impression of a piece.

  22. Nicole, I just love your photos. There is a quality to them that is just brilliant. Your Houses is really inspiring me to seriously get going on mine. So I thank you for that! All of your work is just drop-dead gorgeous!
