7 Days Progress Update & Small Finish

I didn't get alot more done, but I did manage some on Plum Street Samplers Seven Days of Creation. Wanted to share anyway, showing the previous pic, as it shows more the color of linen more accurately. This is before:

And this is after a bit more stitching, this is a horrible pic, no sunlight and lots of wrinkles! I won't be returning to this one for awhile, have too many screaming my name! And.I.know.you.all.know.how.that.is.

And a small finish from last week, this is LHN's Seasonal Saltbox Series, the Summer Square, three done, one more to go. Stitched on 40 ct Vintage Lentil:



Thanks bunches for your wonderful comments and I hope you have a blessed week!

Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for posting such wonderful needlework to enjoy! I love both of these projects. I haven't seen either one stitched, and it is so inspiring.

Hope you have a great week! Thanks for all of your comments on my blog. You are a sweetie.

It looks like you got a lot of progress done! It looks fantastic. And the LHN finishes are really darling. Your finishes are so enabling - now I want to do them! I've only stitched one LHN piece and it was fun to work on. Maybe yours will inspire me to do more! All your pieces are inspiring!

Oh Jan, the LHN seasonals are so sweet. Great little finish and now the big finish isn't that far away any more.

I really love your This is the Day, and your LHN seasonal series is sooo beautiful, I LOVE it. Your Seven Days is really nice too and you have done lots!! Did you change any colors in the LHN series or is it what is called for?

Michelle said...

Great progress on 7 Days. I love that design!

Susimac said...

Wonderful progress and your stitching is soooo wonderful

Paulette said...

Oh Jan, your projects are coming along beautifully! I absolutely love your blog. :) Btw, of all the models I stitched, the only one I didn't mind was 7 Days. It seems overwhelming, but it just sort of meanders right along. I'm sure you'd like to slap me right about now. LOL Your LHN is wonderful!!

Dona said...

Jan, your Seven Days is amazing! I love that piece, too.And the saltboxes are really pretty. I like seeing them all stitched together on one piece of linen. And, yes, we do know about all the charts waiting in the wings to be stitched, and all are screaming our names!

Diana said...

Blessed....is really exceptional; I'll have to look for the piece to stitch for my so who is in the military serving across the country. Thank you again for sharing (I love it).

Love to Stitch said...

Great work on your 7 Days, The fabric is gorgeous!! I love that vintage look!! I too wish we could capture the beauty in the pictures better. I hope to see more progress on this, put it into the rotation! I am very curious what you are working on now!

7 Days looks amazing, Jan! I'm glad you pulled it out to work some more on it. It's such a neat piece! Congrats on finishing another square on Saltbox Seasonals! It won't be long before this one is finished!
