A number of visitor's to the blog wanted to see a progress picture of my latest project -- Shakespeare's Peddler Sarah Woodham. So without further delay, here is my progress using the recommended threads on 40-ct light exampler. I started the project in early December after completing the Jenny Bean Halloween Sampler.
The picture looks a little dark. Once finished I will take a picture using better lighting. Still trying to get use to taking pictures of my projects.
I was able to get the honeysuckle (at least that is what I think the flowers are) vine completed last night. So now just need to work on the flowers themselves. That should go fairly quickly since they are not full flowers and only two colors. Need to force myself to do some more of the verse. I am doing in with half crosses (or tent) since it is over one. On the 40-ct fabric they looked a little bulky. I also changed the color of the large trees on the left and right side. The pattern has them charted using the color Mocha but mine is a dark muddy brown color. I prefer green trees, so I substituted with the Coastal Seaweed which is only used on the outline of the bird on the left. It goes well with the blue used in the vases.

I agree with the girls Sarah is gorgeous and the border is really lovely. Hate borders, but is besides the point. They are a necessary evil lol.
I loved hearing from you, but didn't have time to answer back yet. So we are both Boston lovers. I bet your Dexter is a wonderful son!
Sarah is beautiful, great progress. I look forward to seeing more.
