Once again....

After I got my order from "The Silver Needle" I couldn't withstand the temptation to start Scarlet's Christmas Sampler. A companion piece from Chessie & Me to the Jenny Bean Samplers from Shakespeare's Peddler. It is pretty small, only 93x93 stitches. So it shouldn't take too long. I ordered the chart and the GAST Limited Edition threads. Very nice colours :) The chart comes with 36ct Vintage Pearled Barley by Lakeside Linens and it feels kinda strange to stitch on 36ct, since I usually stitch on 40ct. I wasn't stitching too much lately, as the last 2 weeks were quite busy. Last weekend we went for a shopping weekend to Bismarck, ND. But shopping is a good alternative to stitching ;) I will post pictures of my progress on Jenny Bean and Susan Rambo in my next post. Have a fun stitchy night everyone....

I'm not familiar with that pattern - I'll have to look it up. I like your start on it. And look forward to your Susan Rambo picture. That one is high on my list to stitch.

Hmmm, I was considering starting Susan Rambo, but now I am thinking this chart might be a nice small one to do! I have the chart and now I wonder if I have the floss etc. Yours is off to a good start!
