Meredith's small progress

Hello everyone! Here is a picture of the small amount of progress I've made on My Lady this last week. Hope to get a few more motifs done this weekend (after my son's football game and my daughter's Daisy Scout meeting today and a birthday party tomorrow...you know how it goes!!) All of your pieces are just beautiful!!

Have a great weekend! Meredith

A little progress

Hello! Well, I've made a little progress on My Lady! I am enjoying this project so much. And, I'm really enjoying seeing all of your pieces! I love all the colors and variations that everyone is using. It's also so neat to see where everyone starts their projects!

I tried to take a closer picture so you could the second, lighter color I've chosen. I hope it "pops" more once I get some of the darker color in there with it.

Happy Stitching and Happy Labor Day everyone!

Meredith's (small) Start

Hello! Well, I had a small start last night and today. After looking at all the beautiful pictures of this pattern on the designers page and seeing all of your amazing color choices I decided to go with just two colors. (The idea of converting this pattern to 5 colors from 2 was very overwhelming to me - I'm a whimp that way :-) I am using DMC 315 which is one of the designers suggested colors and 3727 which I just liked with it. These colors are a little bit different then the usual palette I would choose but my 6 year old daughter helped me pick them out and I am really drawn to them.

So, here's my small start.

I hope to get to work on her more tonight. Everyone's starts are super! Thanks Amy and Petra for organizing this SAL for us! It's so much fun to be a part of it!

Excited to get started!

Hello! I'm Meredith from NJ and I am excited to start this SAL tomorrow! Thank you all for sharing your wonderful ideas/color choices. I have a lot to do today to get ready for that first x tomorrow! I need to figure out what size fabric I need and cut it from a piece of 36 x 27 32 count Lambswool that I had in my stash. Then need to do my running stitch all around it... I am going with Moniques and some of your color way...but I'm a little concerned that the 945 and 3774 are blending into my fabric just a little too much. I think I'm going to hunt around in my DMC for some slightly darker colors for those. Oh, yeah, I also need to print the pattern!! :-)

So, excited to start this piece with all of you tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing everyone's pieces progress.
