My New Start Will Be....

Blackbird Designs "Beneath the Sunlit Sky." An oldie, but a goodie. :) I have had this pattern kitted ever since it came out (almost two years ago) and while searching for something new to stitch I came across it. I decided to use different fabric though. I had it kitted with Platinum Belfast and I decided to go with 32 ct. Purely Primitive by Silkweaver instead. I actually started a tiny bit last night, but had to rip it out because I started in the wrong spot. You'd think after all these years I would know where to start stitching! :)

I just love the colors in this design. I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun stitching this one! Well, I'm going to get stitching while Matthew is taking a nap! Write soon!



P.S. Thank you for all your very kind comments on Miss Lila! :)

  1. Blackbird Designs is something I am really into right now too! I want to get the fabric and threads for Flowers for Sarah but I am thinking of making it into a wall hanging instead of a needlecase because it is too pretty to fold up into a needlecase. I too had to start over on my project, Small Tokens pin cushion yesterday. I love this choice you have made and look forward to seeing your progress!

  4. I love the colors in this sampler a lot, and don't know why I haven't stitched it before. Maybe because it gets lost in the stash pile. Can't wait to see your start!

  23. Your work is always very beautiful. May I ask something, I am wondering how many hours you stitch every day. I have just one son, a husband who is out of the house working long hours and I struggle to pick up my stitching once a week, and how long it take me to finish a project, well I don't like to say. You must have a secret, I would like to know, actually, I NEED to know!!!!!

  24. I have this one kitted up too and I stitched up the house for a fair and square round recently. Good Luck! I will have to get mine out to stitch up too soon but right now I am working on From Sea to Shining Sea. Thanks for the inspiration.
