Log Cabin Sampler

I finished Ro Pace's Log Cabin Sampler (ANG Cyber Workshop) awhile ago, but now I have started working on the overlay canvas which will make a raised frame. I am using Krenik #8 Braid, copper 013, for the metallic and Waterlilies 034 Bouquet for the Scotch stiches. I think this will go well with the main piece. The frame will take some time, but it is ideal for stitching on while watching TV, now that I have all the counting done!

Log Cabin Sampler FINISHED

Here I am finally.  It has been a busy time for the last month or so, but we are home in Las Vegas again and hopefully I'll be able to get caught up and back to "normal". 

I'll start off with Ro Pace's Log Cabin Sampler.  Some months ago, I finally finished the overlay canvas border and just before Christmas I finally got it ready for the framer.  The overlay is raised above the main part of the needlepoint.  It is tricky to do, but certainly does look nice now that it is finished & framed.  Go to my previous post for all the posts on this piece.

This was my first Ro Pace design, which was offered as a Cyberworkhshop through ANG.  I had not met Ro when I started this piece!  Now she has become a wonderful stitchy friend and I have quite a collection of pieces I have done of her designs!

LOG CABIN SAMPLER

I am also working on Ro Pace's Log Cabin Sampler, which is an ANG Cyber Workshop. I am ahead of schedule as I wanted to finish the first part before traveling to our "winter" home. So this piece is "resting" until the class starts the frame part, at which time I will take it up again.

I changed all the colors and threads, which was quite a challenge! I am pleased with the results. The next step is the frame which I think will go quickly. I just hope the "finishing" will not be too hard!

Happy Birthday to me!

I have not been getting much stitching done this past week or so. Among other things, I had a fabulous birthday! Among my birthday treasures are 3 patterns given to me by my husband. Jean Hilton's
"Whisper", and two DebBee's Designs: "Hot Stuff!" and "BlackMagic".

I am trying to get some things kitted up so they are ready to go when the mood strikes. I have several all packaged up, including "Whisper", "Atrium" which is a Rainbow Gallery design by Joan Lohr, the outer border for Ro Pace's Log Cabin Sampler, and a new bargello project which hopefully will become a class model. These in addition to WIPs already nagging at me! Sometimes I question my sanity!
