Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler

I decided to start this sampler by Shakespeare's Peddler Saturday night.  I needed a break from my two huge wips!  I'm loving it so far...

We're getting ready to go down to Florida for Thanksgiving, so it will probably be a week before I post again.  I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving! :)

  11. OMG Nicole, How stunning!! So fast, as always. Is JB charted for NPI, or did you do a conversion?

  14. Oh, woops! It was GAST; I see now. My bad--I've had NPI on the brain ever since I saw it in person for the first time ever this Saturday at the LNS--someone was working HRH Shores--OMG!!! Seriously!!

    I immediately started chattering to her about your Christmas...and how I'd love to stitch block 10 as a pinkeep...and then when I glimpsed it on the floor hauled the chart in to show her )as she had only seen the chart once or twice in passing.)

    By the time I got done talking it (and your blog too) up, she asked if I could leave the chart with her if I wasn't buying it today instead of putting it back on the floor. I told her, "By all means"! I'm getting to be more and more in love with the HRH's, but they are still mountains above my price and skill range. I just can't justify the whole chart price when I don't have as yet any intention to stitch the other ll/12ths of the piece. :/

    Well, back to laundry and BtSS. :)
