A Gentleman's Samplings

I put the last stitches in Ruth Bacheler 1717 by The Scarlet Letter last night.  This was a fun stitch and was very hard to put down with all of it's bright colors.  I really enjoyed working the large areas of Irish Stitch. Really quick once you got your base/guide lines stitched. Worked on 40-ct Lakeside Linen Pecan Butter using DMC I have picked up A Flamestitch also by The Scarlet Letter.  It also has a large band of Irish Stitch - I guess I am addicted. But next up for Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year will be IRS 1738  (seems a little appropriate for this time of year - tax time!).  I have had this chart in my stash for a while. I even started it but did not like the way it was turning out with the floss on the linen that I selected.  So I have chosen a natural linen and will start that project tonight. I completed my tenth chemo treatment last week so I only have two more left.  My next treatment is scheduled for 1 April with my last...

I have spent most of the last two weeks focusing on Ruth Bacheler 1717 as a part of Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year . Ruth Bacheler 1717 by Scarlet Letter Worked on 40-ct Lakeside Linen Pecan Butter using DMC Can you believe that there are 109 of those little pendants in the border?  I was glad to get those done so that I could move on to the large Irish stitch areas. I completed my 9th chemo treatment last week and only have 3 more to go.  My next one is scheduled for 11 March.  If I stay on the current schedule I should have my last treatment on 22 April. Thanks as always for your continued thoughts, words, support, and prayers. Happy stitching....
