Another Finish - Petit Sampler

I have another finished project to share with you today, and I I thought this one deserves a post on it's own. "Petit Sampler" by gazette94 is finally finished. 

I used "Cherry Cola" by Nina's threads for this one and just love how it turned out. 

At first I planed to finish this one into a box lid. I thought I could use it for storing my special threads. It has never occurred to me actually framing this piece. After all there is a lot of pink in this sampler and the Mr. doesn't like any girly-girl stuff. But when I showed the finished sampler to him he actually suggested that I should frame it.

I think a nice white antique finished frame would be perfect for this piece. 

Received Squares and Petit Sampler update

Again! It's been a long time since my last post. I wish I could find a good excuse but honestly, I believe I was just too lazy writing and editing pictures.
Here are the beautiful Square that I've received during the Fair & Square Round #26 from my partner Marcy. I can't thank her enough for these beautiful squares. I love them very much and I shall finish them very soon into a little pin cushion.

And here is a little update on my Petit Sampler which I am stitching as a SAL in the German group Sticklounge. It is almost ready and I can't wait finishing it into a box lit cover for one of my floss boxes. At least that's the plan for this piece.

Design: Petit Sampler (freebie)

Designer: Claire Findlay

Thread: Cherry Cola from Nina's threads

Fabric: 40ct. white Newcastle Linen

my new threads from Nina

It has been hot here in South Finland lately and I didn't feel sitting in front of the computer. Not much in the mood for stitching either. For some reason I am most active stitching in Spring and Autumn. 

So for today I only have only one new thing to share. A few weeks ago I've ordered some skeins of hand-dyed thread from Nina. They arrived already last week and I have wanted to take pictures right away but I thought it would be nicer to show you how the floss looks in a stitched project.

So here's the start on a new SAL called Petit Sampler by Claire Findley.
