In the meantime, I've worked on just Jane Pattison. I really am in love with this sampler. I love its simple elegance as well as the beautiful threads and charming motifs. The little birds on the planter look as if Jane did a quick line sketch of them in pen and ink. I am using the Attic Needlework's conversion to silks, but changed the color of the inner block border to a more gold thread after seeing it a similar change here. I used AVAS 100/3 #303. I like the way it looks!

Everything else is pretty quiet here. Spring is here, but barely. Macon's Cherry Blossom Festival is underway, but the cherry blossoms haven't really bloomed yet. My tree has just a handful of blossoms.
That it's for now, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Your Jane looks wonderful so far. I think that everything is going to be late this year for blooming because it's been so cold. We're still freezing and snowy here. I'm so ready for Spring.
Beautiful -- absolutely beautiful. I love thinking of those birds as sketches -- so sweet.
Your Jane looks beautiful. I love the changes you made with the colors and the type of silk you're using.
Did you stitch Amy Mitten's Sarah Verrier?
Jane is just gorgeous! I love the colors you're using and Vintage Light Exemplar is one of my favorite fabrics. Beautiful!
Love Jane. She's such a pretty sampler :-)!!!
Jane is looking great! I hope you are happier with the new SL piece you've chosen. You have to feel good about it while stitching or it's no fun!
