Happy Saturday stitchers! My Saturday has suddenly had its plans all changed. Instead of scrapbooking with my friends I am stuck in bed with a virus and fever. Never-the-less I will enjoy the rest from everyday life and hopefully bounce back onto my feet soon. I have uploaded another stitching progress video to my YouTube channel, thread garden. It shows progress on my Bothy Threads Cut Thru' projects and the Prairer Schooler Alphabet. Enjoy! I stitched more on B is for Blackbird on the Prairie Schooler Alphabet with my friends on Thursday night. The top half of B is stitch heavy so hopefully it won't take so long to stitch the lower half.
My friend, Samra, agreed to let me post a photo of her project. She is stitching it on Antique White Zweigart 36 count linen, two over two. She is stitching 4x letters across by 7 rows. She has stitched the letter box (which is usually the last block but in this case her first), D is for Drum and E is for Embroidery. Don't you just love her blocks. Isn't her first block with the stitcher in the centre so pretty?
I hope you all get lots of stitching time in this weekend, Jan x

Beautiful stitching! It's coming along so well. I hope you feel better soon!

By the way, when you comment on my blog you're coming up as a no-reply blogger, so I can't reply to you. Just wanted to say thanks for your sweet comments! :D

Wow, I love that video you produced there, Jan! What a great idea. (And I felt like a bit of a celebrity when I heard my name mentioned - LOL!)
Your Prairie Schooler project is just zipping along there and looks great. And I truly need to go get my Bothy kit out this week and start on that as well. I love all the details in both the Pirate ship and the Castle and it was neat to be able to see and hear you pointing them all out on your video. Hope you feel better ASAP! Happy stitching!

Hope you are feeling better now.

Thank you for sharing your friend's progress picture. The first block really is lovely, it would make a great sampler on it's own.
