Although I don’t feel completely well, I do feel much better. I still feel like I need extra sleep and don’t have much appetite, and my head is stuffy, but I do feel like the worst is over. I’m also very happy to report that my website is back where it belongs!
I did a bit of stitching when I could and made good progress on this new design by Tanya Anderson of The Sampler Girl. I love the colors used and this design is just perfect for how I was feeling — it is really true about staying home for real comfort! You can get this design in the latest issue of TGOS magazine found here, just click on the photo of the magazine for details.

So glad you are beginning to feel better and glad your website is back to normal. I loved this design when I saw it, and like it even more in your photo. The colors seem more muted. Are you using the R&R fabric it called for? I’m going to check my thread packs to see which fibers I need!

Hi Heidi,
I think there was only one symbol that was changed, but you can figure it out easily. It is a quick stitch and the fibers are wonderful!

Hi Nicole,
I’m enjoying this design, and it is a perfect sentiment. I’m just using a natural 28ct linen from my odds and ends bin. I think this project could be stitched on a wide variety of fabrics and still look great!

Hi Rachel,
The colors are great! I am just using a 28ct natural linen that I had in my odds and ends and not quite sure of the exact name of this fabric bin.

You inspire me to stitch the Jane Austen sampler. I love it, and thought the TGOS magazine really treated us this month! Jane Austen is a favorite of mine for sure! Love your stitching…

Hi! Your sampler is looking very beautiful! I am stitching it too and please see my blog: there is a mistake on the chart with the placement of top and bottom vines. The two parts of the chart are not the same width either…
Thanks for a nice blog that I love reading (and no comment…. Lazy girl…).
Take care!
Lili
