A Gentleman's Samplings

I had a very productive stitching weekend.  I was able to finish Scarlet Letter's JCS 1707 on Saturday morning.  Then it was into the works in progress pile to see what else I could get finished.  I am really bad at only having about 2 more hours to go on something but another item will come into view that looks fun and I start working on that instead of finishing a sampler that is nearly done. (Guess I just get bored with it). This year I am wanting to get some of these items that I have started completed.  So much more fun to have something that I can say is complete and move it from the in progress pile to the completed storage box. So I picked up Long Dog's Words Alone sampler.  I only had a couple of motifs to complete on the sampler so I was able to finish it up before the Super Bowl Game on Sunday. Now I just need to post the pictures.  Will try to do that this evening once I get them pressed. Picked back up Shakespear Peddler's Sarah Wood...

As my new start for the year, I have been working on Scarlet letter's JCS 1707 sampler. I really like the motifs on this sampler. I am working it on on overdyed Lakeside Linen 40 count fabric using the DMC colors listed. I was going to do it in silks but really like the way it is turning our with the coton floss. I was hoping to complete this by the end of the month but it looks like I am not going to make it. I have about 75 percent of it complete but do not think that three days is enough time to get the rest completed. I will post a picture later of the progress.
