I've been stitching up a storm - I'm loving this new rhythm. Maybe it's the sick me that allows me to stitch. Most of the time I'm running around like a blue-bottomed fly, but the sick me lies on the couch stitching and falling in love all over again with Gilbert Blythe. You try and tell me you're not a sucker for this classic.
See my colouring in? Well I was only going to do a few petals, however, once I started, that gentle rhythm took over and now that I look at it... Well I think it would look like I'd just been a little lax with my stitching and couldn't be bothered. And my friends - that would never do. Onward stitching soldier.
Matt tells me it's starting to take shape like a stained glass window. I love this. I love stained glass windows (there's nothing like that perfect hue of blue bright and bold with sunshine bursting through - take a look when next you're inside a church).

Matt scores points for that compliment. It is looking stunning, bet you have trouble giving it away! Perhaps you will have to stay permanently stuffy until Xmas,
Gilbert & I have been together for at least 25 years...I'm devastated to hear he's cheating on me.
I won the full set from "The Age" the date reckons because nobody else entered!
You, Potty Mouth Mama are a kindred spirit.
Oh my goodness...it's beautiful! Kudos to anyone who is good at embroidery. I just suck at it!
I hope you get better really soon (well maybe not too soon..you'd better finish all that stitching first)!
Wonderful embroidery!
Like Anne, I hope you are well in body soon (but hopefully not considerably rough of the spirit!)
wow. that is GREAT lovely.. lucky gal being able to do it.
I have loved A of GG since the first time I saw it on public television in the 80's. I recorded it on video tape and I remember having a Green Gables marathon with my sister one snowy holiday. I cry every time Matthew dies...
Hey it looks great! Actil pillowcase? I just bought an Actil sheet set the other day with the aim of embroidering the pillows and top sheet.
You know, with all that spare time I have.
;-)
I love your embroidery ... is that all french knots?? I did one all in french knots a while ago ... kept me quiet for ages ;o), so relaxing!!!
I do hope you are well soon!This is looking devine!! I am quite new to stitching too and it's the gentle rhythm that sucked me in, once I started I was addicted straight away!!!!
The piece is coming along beautifully, it's just a pity that you're sick.
Ahhhh how I love Anne of Green Gables. I was in love with Gilbert for so many years.
Gosh I loved AoGG too, and swooned endlessly over Gilbert. Ahh, watching You Tube brings it all back, and now I want to find my mum's copy of the double box set on video...
You're stitching is progressing wonderfully. I like the stained glass window analogy....and nice of Matt to notice.
Oh..hey...my Sunday is sorted..I just discovered I can watch the WHOLE MOVIE with that youtube link!!!!! Wahoo!! In hi def, too! :D
Gilbert, my dear, here I come...
