a Jane stitch for all seasons




Finishes! I did finish "In the Kitchen with Jane Austen" -- such a happy little stitch! Next up I have Jane Austen Sampler Stocking for Christmas (both from TSG). I have had this in my stash for 3 seasons; so happy to finally be getting it started. Last year I purchased a nice cut of white evenweave for this project, but I wanted it to age it a little, so I tried my hand at Vonna's bake and baste method. It turned out beautifully! I need to sub a few of the fiber colors which are too close to the fabric color, but so far that's been easy and I am loving the way it's looking. Here's hoping I can complete this by Christmastime!

Other than a bad cold (bleh) I have been feeling well pregnancy-wise. Thanks for all your sweet comments!

Very pretty sampler finish! Tanya's designs are always so fun to stitch. I really like the color you dyed your fabric, and I hope you do get to finish it this year.

Rachel you look absolutely beautiful!

I love all things Jane Austen, your finish is adorable, and I do agree with that quote! I am glad you are feeling good, that is wonderful. Your new start will be so pretty when it’s done. Good job on dying the fabric, I am a chicken and won’t try it :)

Look at that great little finish just in time for Fall! And, your fabric dyeing looks very successful to me, Rachael. Did you know that pregnancy and sniffles..or sinus problems go hand-in-hand? It's something about the hormones. I'm afraid you might be experiencing them on and off for a while. :[ But it's all worth it, right? :]
