Here's a closeup of my progress on Sarah Hatton McPhail:
The thing about her is that she really is fairly small, although densely packed with stitching (and there's a ton of back-stitching on her as well that I'm starting to work on now so that it all doesn't fall at the end and derail the project). I think she calls for a special frame, and I wandered the shop examining frames and framing treatments yesterday. A customer had brought in a nice needlework project that was matted in the most beautiful pink linen and framed fairly simply with a chippy-paint wood frame. The linen mat set off the project just perfectly, and I decided that I'd love to mat Sarah with linen and then look for a beautiful wood frame. Normally I just have my needlework framed without a mat, but I'm hooked on this idea, although of course, it makes it more expensive. We'll see when she's done. I'll bring you along on the framing trip, of course!
Pink says he would like to point out that his blue hay box is the exact color of Sarah's water, and that while Peaches is taking up more than her share of the box, it is very cozy to snuggle on a cold Sunday morning with a bunny.
See you soon! I'm back to the needlework shop tomorrow morning to work a half day.

Ah Sarah! Yes, she's on my todo list as well. You are doing so well with her! And yay that the Woodlawn show is happening after all! Get busy. :D
It just amazes me all of the large projects you are working on, it's a different every post and they are all stitched so beautifully.
Great progress on Sarah. I wish I could do those kind of designs. Love the bunnies - wish I could get one - but to many kitties.

Sarah is looking great. I need to pull this one back out to stitch on. You are so close to finishing :)
Oh, Sarah is just so pretty! Absolutely stunning!
I laughed at your idea of the simple meal - glass of water and vitamin! I'll have to remember that!
Have fun stitching and stashing at your work (gee, you're the only one I know who can do that!).
Between your gorgeous beachy header and the cooling blue shade in Sarah's waters.......Ah, take me away from this bitter cold....
She is looking fantastic and soon you will be done!~~ take care my friend and have a cuppa for me!
Your Sarah is beautiful and I'm so glad that Woodlawn is on and you're motivated to finish Sarah. I can't wait to see her completed. I think the linen mat board sounds like a great idea for this sampler.
What a beauty Sarah is. Looking fantastic.

Sarah is coming along beautifully - her colours are just gorgeous.
Sarah is just so pretty. It looks like you're more than half way done with her. I like the idea of a linen mat.
Pink and Peaches have the right idea. Snuggle down and stay warm.
Very pretty project and I love your ideas for framing her!!!!
Sarah is gorgeous - I love the idea of matting her with a linen mat too. Can't wait!
