A Little More BiTB

I worked on "Bird in the Bower" a little more yesterday. Paulette told me she wished she had done her name and date in Dark Brown, so I decided to give it a try and I like how it turned out...

Bird in the Bower as of 6/17/09

I really love this design. I know I said that before, but I can't emphasize it enough! I was in a little slump, which is why I think I was starting a bunch of things - trying to find the right fit and I finally found it! :) Now I'm going through my stash to see what I can start next. I'm thinking about another Plum Street Design or maybe a Drawn Thread - something with silk and deep colors.

Yep, I'm out of my slump! Thank you Paulette! LOL! :)

  4. Glad to hear that you're out of your slump Nicole! The colors on this one are so nice! Got my fabric for the Plantation Sampler and may take a few stitches in it tonight? Are you going to join me? Of course BiTB looks so wonderful, I'd almost keep stitching on that for a while!

  19. What a great design! Love the darker colours and that dark brown for the wording is a better look than what the chart calls for. Nothing like finding something so inspiring and enjoyable to get you out of a slump.
