Valentine Rose Progress

I worked on this a lot this weekend. I'm loving it!!



Blackbird Designs "Anniversaries of the Heart," 40 ct. Meadow Rue, Various hand-dyed threads.

I can't believe I put this away for so long. I'm having so much fun stitching it. I'm already looking forward to the next block!

In other news I decided to create a forum for all my sampler loving friends. I thought it would be fun to have a friendly community where we could get together and talk about stitching (not just samplers). Hope to see you there! Here's the link...

  13. What is it about red bricks cross stitched in different shades that gets me every time? I've been seeing bits and pieces of this all over blogland, and while I can't take it up quite yet, it's going on my long-term "Must Do" list.

    Nice!
