Sunday Mystery Sampler Update: Seventh Day


My color choices (apart from the border, all threads are Caron Wildflowers):
border: DMC 938
words: Blackwatch
snowflakes: Dawn
mom & dad: Snow White, Dark Shadows, Spice
crown: Spice
cygnets: Dark Suede, Dark Shadows
water: Evergreen


I've decided to take an operational pause on this sampler. After seeing the block for the eighth day, I want to see what the next one (or two) looks like before I go on. I'm strongly leaning toward some major tinkering with the eighth block, but before I do, I need to see the direction in which the rest of the sampler is going. I've been thrilled with the design so far, and I will definitely finish it, but it may look quite different (as if it doesn't already!). We'll see.

So that frees me up to do some ornament stitching this week. Yay!

  6. Wow, I love your color choices! I wasn't very interested in this SAL until I saw your finishes. I read 123 MB, so want to thank you for Ewephoria that you posted a link to some time ago. I did not participate in the SAL. but stitched it later. You are so talented!

    1. Thank you, Bonnie. The fabric is nothing fancy, just 28 count natural linen. Not sure of the manufacturer.
