I put the last stitches in Redbird Sampler by Bent Creek tonight. I really like the way it came out, and I think that Nutmeg Lakeside Linen was a good choice for fabric. It is more reddish in tone than the dirty linen that the model was stitched on, but I like that ruddyness. I would have finished it earlier, I had it all done except that snowflake next to the Z on the bottom row and the pine tree branch next to it on Sunday, but then I came down with a bad cold. I was too sick to stitch Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday. I felt better today, though, and finally got those last few stitches in.I also stitched today on my Dear Diary sampler. This is supposed to be a Tuesday SAL, but since I was too sick then to get much done, I worked on it today. I have started with Rebecca Small's sampler because she is from Texas and so am I. This was so much fun...but then aren't all new starts fun. I almost didn't want to put it down so I could finish Redbird, but I did.
This weekend I'll be stitching on HAED Fairy Village as part of the HAED Challenge SAL on the HAED Forum. So I probably won't get back to Rebecca Small until next Tuesday, but I am enjoying this SAL so far!
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week, and has plenty of time to stitch.

Hi Laura: Your Redbird Sampler is just beautiful!! I love Little House Needleworks too and your Rebecca Small is going to be so pretty as well. I have that one in my stash and you inspire me!! I am sorry you have a bad cold! I am just getting over mine and that is why my Stitched with Love isn't as done as I wish. I am now feeling better and my eyes will not feel so irritated as they did. I hope you get well soon and please stop by my blog again soon!! Debby :)
Good for you. Congrats!!
You did finish that very quickly.
I look forward to the next piece!
