I was thinking of starting With Thy Needle & Thread's "Soar Sampler." I'm loving all the progress pics on her blog.

I'm planning on using 32 ct. Black Belfast linen with DMC...

  2. Elizabeth is so pretty! Love the soft blue in her.

    I have Soar kitted up but haven't had time to start on it yet. Spring is such a busy time of year it's hard to find much time to stitch.

  3. Elizabeth looks great! When I saw your first picture, I just wanted to run and grab up my stitching. Beautiful progress! I love the supplies for Soar, too. I wish she'd made it available to non-US stitchers.

  12. I have to agree that the castle is going to take a lot of time, but is going to be so worth it when it's finished. She's looking so pretty so far. I have her kitted up but haven't started her yet. It is one gorgeous sampler!!
