Two New Starts!

I'm really going to try to be a better blogger and post more!  My first new start is "I Sigh Not for Beauty."  I really fell in love with sampler after seeing Cathy B's finished sampler.

I'm using a combination of Belle Soie and NPI silks.  The fabric is 35 ct. Straw linen by Weeks Dye Works.

I also decided to start "Isabella Fox."  I saw Cari's sampler when we met up in Florida and fell in love!  It's so gorgeous!!

I'm using a combination of silk threads and 40 ct. Vintage Sand Dune linen.
