1905 Sampler Part Five Update

Simone de Jong of Atelier Soed Idee  uploaded part five of her 1905 Sampler earlier this evening my time, so I stopped working on the newest UFO I pulled out of the Bin O' Shame and got to this. It stitched up VERY quickly, as had the other parts. I am totally loving how this is turning out. 


Here's what I have so far:



Design: 1905 Sampler

Designer: Simone de Jong of Atelier Soed Idee


Fabric Used: Zweigart 36 count Edinburgh Linen in Antique White


Fiber Used: Caron Collection Waterlilies silk in Cherry Cordial 



Stitcher's Notes: Stitched one strand of Caron Collection Waterlilies silk in Cherry Cordial over two threads of 36 count Edinburgh Linen in Antique White.

Well, I best be off. Really tired tonight and I need to get ready for work tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

1905 Sampler Part Two Update

Part two of Simone de Jong of Atelier Soed Idee's 1905 Sampler was released today (my time) so I printed it out and went at it. I am a bit worried as I did not start the sampler in the correct spot and now I may not have enough fabric. Le sigh. I will worry about it when the time comes, however, I am probably going to have to tweak the design a bit. Of course, this also means that I will probably change the date and the initials on it :). 


Well, here is what I have so far:


Design: 1905 Sampler



Designer: Simone de Jong of Atelier Soed Idee


Fabric Used: Zweigart 36 count Edinburgh Linen in Antique White


Fiber Used: Caron Collection Waterlilies silk in Cherry Cordial 



Stitcher's Notes: Stitched one strand of Caron Collection Waterlilies silk in Cherry Cordial over two threads of 36 count Edinburgh Linen in Antique White.

Well, I am off for now. I need to clean up my stitching area and read before bed. Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend! :)

Atelier Soed Idee 1905 Sampler SAL start

 
Began a SAL yesterday that is being hosted by Simone de Jong of Atelier Soed Idee. It's a free SAL and the first part has already been released. There are a total of seven parts to this SAL and so far it's been a LOT of fun. It won't be up for long, as she's posted the following schedule for the release of all seven parts:

15 december: Deel 2, Part 2

29 december: Deel 3, Part 3

12 januari: Deel 4, deel 1 wordt verwijderd, Part 4, Part 1 will be removed.

26 januari: Deel 5, deel 2 wordt verwijderd, Part 5, Part 2 will be removed.

9 februari: Deel 6, deel 3 wordt verwijderd, Part 6, Part 3 will be removed.

23 februari: Deel 7, deel 4 wordt verwijderd, Part 7, Part 4 will be removed

9 maart: deel 5 wordt verwijderd, Part 5 will be removed

23 maart: deel 6 wordt verwijderd, Part 6 will be removed

6 april: deel 7 wordt verwijderd, Part 7 will be removed

I decided that this was going to be the piece that I tried to stitch on the piece of 36 count that I had picked up on a whim. I have no idea what possessed me to try out a fabric with this low a count, but I have been toying with the idea of stitching smaller counts. So far, there hasn't been any squinting on my part, which is a good sign, LOL! :)

Here is what I have so far:

Design: 1905 Sampler


Designer: Simone de Jong of Atelier Soed Idee


Fabric Used: Zweigart 36 count Edinburgh Linen in Antique White


Fiber Used: Caron Collection Waterlilies silk in Cherry Cordial 



Stitcher's Notes: Stitched one strand of Caron Collection Waterlilies silk in Cherry Cordial over two threads of 36 count Edinburgh Linen in Antique White.

I have left off the 1905 and the JHA initials so far as I am waffling between stitching the piece as is, or adding this years' date and my initials. The floss that I am using would NOT have been available in 1905 that I know of, however, it will be fun to do the research on that. :)

Well, I must be off. Need to get out another project to work on until part two comes out on the 15th :). Hope everyone is having a fantastic week! :)

Le Petit Gateau finish

Got another wee tiny finish under my belt. I ordered the floss for this about a week ago, and when it arrived, I *knew* I had to stitch something immediately with it. I chose this wee sampler, as I've had it for a while and I thought it would be a good way to check out the floss see how it was.

The floss is by Victorian Motto Shoppe ans there is a TON on the skein. It was very pleasant to work with and Nancy who owns the business is also fantastic to deal with. The order arrived lickety split and I will probably order from her again.


At any rate, here is the finish:




Design: Gateau Sampler


Designer: Simone de Jong for Atelier Soed Idee


Fabric: 32 count Country French Linen in Cafe Mocha


Fiber: Victorian Motto Shoppe Cotton Embroidery Floss in Antique Blue and Tan.

Well, I'm off for now. Pizza's on it's way and tonight Holmes Inspection is on. I just love the show. It totally rocks!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! :)

Quick finish

Managed to get some stitching time in last night while watching The Voice. DH and I totally love this show and this season looks like it's going to be really good.


At any rate, here is what I managed to get finished:


Design: Christmas Stocking

Designer: Atelier Soed Idee


Fabric: 32 count Country French Linen in Cafe Mocha

Fibers: Crescent Colours Cotton Floss in Antique Lace and Spinach. DMC cotton floss in 842 and 3031. Anchor floss in 303.


Accouterments: Mill Hill Antique Beads in Stock#: G03021 Royal Pearl.

And here is a picture of the rose I have sitting on my desk:

It reminds me of the colors of a sunrise. It was purchased at Ka-Bloom of Reno . I have been very pleased with how long their flowers last. I just love fresh flowers! :)


Well, I best be off. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day today! :)
