Here are 2 cuts of Lakeside I received recently. The ivory-colored one is Maritime White; the hot-pink one is called Vintage Wild Rose. It's pinker than I realized when I ordered it, but I really like it. Now to find just the project for it.
This is the chart I based my banner photo on. It's "Thistle House" by Ewe & Eye & Friends. I stitched it for a round robin, so I don't have the finished product any more. I changed the design to fit the block I was stitching. The little black bunny was not originally part of the design. It's a Just Nan bunny--she charts bunnies well--and I stitched him in honor of my bunny, the Bunnyman, who had died the previous year at a fine old bunny age of 10.
The Bunnyman (1997-2007), dashing around the dining room right after we moved in. He was blind at that point from cataracts, but he still enjoyed a good run.
Pink says "Happy week ahead, all!"
I love that little blue house appearing on Wisdom. And I like the LL linens. Not sure what I would do with the pink one either, but it is beautiful, and I am sure you will find a great project for it.
ReplyDeleteGlenna - great progress on Wisdom. The colors in this one are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh those fabrics are great - I look forward to seeing what you do with the pink - some Valentines pieces?
Thistle House - I'll have to add that one to my 'want list'. Your addition of the bunny in honor of Bunnyman is a wonderful little tribute.
Enjoy your week.
Thistle House is beautiful and how sweet that Bunnyman is stitched in your version. I think Pink is probably delighted you picked Vintage Wild Rose - it matches her eyes so nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love the THistle House - gorgeous design and nicely stitched! Great progress and it's always a good day when new fabric is in the house - oh the possibility!
ReplyDeleteHow nice you chose to stitch the black bunny for the Bunnyman! Very sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour 'Wisdom' is blooming nicely!
And I echo what Dona said about Pink and the fabric too - nice match!
Ok, it takes me a while -- I just realized what the Wisdom Sampler is. lol! It's so pretty -- and I love that sampler!!! ugh! Those linen colors are quite different from each other, aren't they? I think the pink one will be fun to use! I love that Thistle House design -- and you're right, JN does do good bunnies. 10 years -- that's a ripe old age for a bunny! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Bunnyman story and pic. How cool that you honored him by including him in your stitchery!
ReplyDeleteAnd hello, Pink. You're looking handsome as ever!
I love your progress on wisdom sampler. I also really appreciate the pics of the fabric. I have been wanting to get a piece of Maritime white but I did not need another piece of too white linen. That helps a lot. The pink is nice too, I am a pink person color wise.
ReplyDeleteThe little bunny is the perfect personalization for your pieces.
Wisdom will be beautiful - I love the big flower! Happy week ahead to you too Pink!
ReplyDeleteI love your progress on Wisdom - the colors are wonderful. And I really like those fabrics too!
ReplyDeleteYour Wisdom is beautiful -- gorgeous colors and lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Happy weekend to you, too, Pink!
ReplyDeleteGood to see a pic of Bunnyman. And hello dear Pink. Your cross stitching stuff is awesome
ReplyDeleteThat pink linen is pretty. The Bunnyman sure looks like he was having fun. Hope you have a good stitching week too.
ReplyDeleteWow, another beautiful sampler Glenna! I love it! You are definitely opening my eyes to different samplers out there. I definitely have to add this one to my stitch-one-day-soon list! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching, Glenna! That pink Lakeside would be great for one of the Valentine (or the Valentine, not sure if there's more than one...) BOAF. Or maybe the Valentine Blue Ribbon ornament designs. It's a pretty color! Love the pics of your Bunnyman.
ReplyDeleteOOOH! The pink is SO pretty. Of course it's my favorite color. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteI do like the little black rabbit in your banner, and how true to the Bunnyman it looks too!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colours in Wisdom - lovely!
ReplyDeleteWisdom looks so pretty. Love the colors. And that pink is gorgeous - I can't wait to see what you find to stitch on it.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute to Bunnyman!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! Those colors are gorgeous in Wisdom, Glenna! Beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wip ! That Wild Rose fabby is gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with it!
