Very slow progress, but I will get there. This project is just screaming to be done and framed and over my fireplace mantel! And it is all the fault of Siobhan and Terri, for enabling me so, with their finished Mary Allen's! Love you guys! This a pic of the completed model Mary Allen, in case some of you readers haven't seen it yet:
Isn't it just beautiful? I am loving the conversion to NPI Silks!
Also those pics of This Is The Day, by Hands To Work. I converted the called for fibers, to a little bit different look:
and a close up of the over 1 block, just need to add my initials.
It has been a gloriously beautiful day here in Indiana!! Hope you all are experiencing nice weather too!
Thanks for visiting and commenting!

Oh, my, gosh!!!!!!!!!! Jan, they are both so beautiful. I don't know how you can choose which to work on--they're both stunning. Your Mary Allen is coming along great! YGG! The fabric you chose is wonderful for it. I love your This Is The Day. Such a fun sampler to stitch--even if I do start singing it in a high pitched voice like we do in church, whenever I think of it! :)
I should be heading off to bed but now I have a burst of stitching spazziness after seeing your pics and want to go and stitch. :D
I mean, singing the verse, "This is the Day...". Ahem. Sorry. Like I said, I need to get to bed! LOL
Love them both! Just gorgeous! And both high on my todo list as well!
Both are looking just gorgeous :)
hugs to you my friend :)
They're really looking good!! You're made some really good progress on This is the Day.
They are both beautiful, Jan, and you're making great progress on both of them.
I want to do a conversion on my "This is the Day too" I want mine deeper reds/golds than what she has charted. I believe yours is LOVELY!!!
And your big WIP..WOW! Pretty!
The day yesterday here in good 'ol Bloomington, was fabulous...today is supposed to be too, then Wednesday rain :o(
I love how your projects are coming along. I really enjoy reading your blog.
Jan, gorgeous! I love them all. I have Mary Allen and This is the Day in my stash :-). Your conversions are so pretty.
Jan dear one - you are flying along on your WIP's - they are both beautiful - Love This is the Day and it is on my to do list too. I'll have to admire Mary Allen from afar - way too much wording for me to stitch LOL
thanks for posting photos - Mel
I've never seen the Mary Allen before...it will be just gorgeous!
Jan, could you post some purchase info on the Mary Allen piece and the designer info? Thanks so much!
Jan, I pulled my threads for this is the day and then I look at yours. I love the richer colors. i don't suppose you'd be willing to share your conversion? I totally understand if you don't want to but I thought I'd ask :-).
Oooh, yes Jan! Please post your conversion!! It's stunning!!!

It is posted! Thanks all of you, for the kind words!
Both pieces are beautiful, but I particularly like This is The Day... I may have to look out for that one :)
Incredibly beautiful ... both of them. Love, love your color changes!
They are both gorgeous, Jan! I love both pieces and they are going on my to do list. Beautiful!
What great pieces! Your progress is just beautiful so far!
Oh Jan!!!! I love your This is the Day and I especially love your color changes. With these colors, I now want to stitch it. I wasn't crazy about the orangey tones before but I love your conversion!!! MA is looking awesome and is still one of my favorites!
Gorgeous! I love your conversion for This is the Day (thanks for sharing it too!)
Add me to the list of stitchers who love your conversion on "This is the Day." I keep seeing this pattern in progress and wanted to start it, too. I'd love to have a copy of your conversion, if you're willing to share. Thanks!!
Mary Allen is high on my list! I'll live vicariously thru you until I can get her in the stash!! And I really MUST find that magazine!!! I love This is the Day!
Where can I find This is the Day?

I, too like your This is the Day conversion and plan to start it soon. I was wondering what linen you chose, I usually choose thread colors first and then find something in my stash that works.Thank You for sharing your choices and your beautiful work.
