Manifesto Sunday #3 & Ann Bowers Sampler Progress

Good Morning, Everyone!

Two weeks to Daylight Savings Time....Hurry Up!

I spent yesterday (Sunday) on The Manifesto! I thought I would just breeze through all the background work!  Unfortunately, that was not the case.  I will have another Sunday of background work!  I refuse to go to the next page chart until it is all done!  I know if I start skipping ahead, I will only want to stitch the objects and not want to do the background....if I do that, I will never finish this sampler!

Below is my progress from yesterday:


I also worked on my Ann Bowers Sampler during last week.  I am making progress and I just love this sampler.  Here ya go:


Well, that is all for now, I will touch base next Monday!

Happy Stitches,

-Holly

Wow Holly! You are making such wonderful progress on both of these pieces! I have my Ann finished to the point of this months assignment and that is it. I haven't been able to start Mani yet since I am still working on a birthday piece but you have me chomping at the bit!! I am going to get to work right now!!!

Both are just gorgeous! I'm in love. I might have to break down and join that Ann Bowers stitch a long very late in the game. lol!

Ann is beautiful and you are really making great progress on Manifesto! Don't blame you for doing the background as you go. I couldn't imagine having to do all that fill in afterwards, lol.

Holly, your stitching is perfection and I am in awe.

I am thrilled to be stitching alongside you and one day I hope to try silk gauze. It was very different to how I imagined it to be.

Holly ~ I am enjoying your progress. I am considering the silk gauze. Are you making a 1/2 cross stitch ~ like a tent stitch? or are you making a full X?
