I had high hopes Tuesday evening that I could finish the Quaker a 6 Mains sampler. Thanks to a bit of unstitching necessitated by my need for remedial counting classes — well, okay, a lot more — I still have 2 motifs to finish. This has been a lot of fun to stitch. Now I’m trying to decide what to do next. The choice is between the Beatrix Potter sampler and the Mary Wigham one. I seem to have a fascination with the Quaker samplers.
This rotation of projects seems to be working well for me. I think later today I’ll work on another Harpsichord block. Thanks to Mr. Quilt Obsession who, as he had appointments in the general area, went to the LQS, I have a new black and white music print to add to the mix as well as a new tube of my favourite needles for hand piecing.

And Smudge stretched out with a stuffed toy. It always amuses me how much he seems to like having a little soft toy nearby.

Did I read Mr. O was getting the fab? Keeper! I'm liking not only that bunny but that little kitty in your sampler. No comment on cats!….I lied. You know I've got kitty envy.

Switching between projects will probably keep your hands/wrists in better shape too. As much as I like to cut I know not to do it all day several days in a row.
