I can't wait to get started! Diane did a great job with the adaption of this sampler and I love the colors she chose!

I think I may use Vanilla Pudding instead of Baguette though. The Baguettes I have are all a little dark. The linen I'm thinking of using is 40 ct. WDW Straw.

I also finished up block 6 of VoHRH. I would have been done sooner, but I had to do some frogging.

  2. Block 6's colors are so nice and the stitches are perfect. Thank you for posting the linen colors - it certainly helps those of us that have to order sight unseen. I love both of these.

  4. I haven't picked up Millicent, but she's in the bag waiting for me! When will I get stitching her is the question. Too much love and not enough time. Your Village is coming along nicely - will be finished in no time!

  5. Oh, Millicent looks like she's going to be a wonderful sampler to work on. Love those threads and fabric.

    And great progress on Village. I think that piece is my favorite out of all the HRH series.

  12. I love your block 6. I saw Melicent in the shop the other day, and while I love the colors she chose, I would have preferred the colors of the original--the blues.
