Button Sampler

Well, I didn't get as much stitching done as I had hoped. Pain meds and stitching just don't agree but, I am doing better and I am not taking hardly any pain meds now. I have some nerve problems in the back of my leg but, I am hoping this will go away. Thanks so much for all of you who wished me luck on my surgery, it was much appreciated. Any how, I got this Button Sampler from Nordic Needle up to date as well as The Great Excape below. Hopefully I can keep recovering without anymore problems.

The Great Escape Updated

I finally got this project updated. He's looking quite spiffy, I love those little mice. I think it's coming along quite nice.

I was having trouble stitching on my other large Chaterlaine Mystery Sampler, Convent's Herbal Garden. So I got out this one and I am liking this one a lot more. I think this one will replace the Herbal Garden. I probably won't be doing much stitching for several days. I am getting a partial knee replacement tomorrow and I will probably have a lot of pain meds. in me for a few days. No sense in stitching when you have to redo every thing you've stitched. So, when I get something new in a couple of weeks I will post it.

This is the little pool that I've been working on this week. My mind has not exactly been on stitching so I had to do some retro stitching. I should be able to get this one done before I move on to the next piece in my rotation.

This is what I accomplished on the Button Sampler last weekend. All I have left is the filling stitches. I love all the extra ideas that Roz gives with the initial pattern. It sure got the creative juices flowing.

Gingerbread Tree Etui

 

This is what I have done so far with this pattern. The picture below on the right is what I've done this past week.

The panel on the right is what I worked on this past week. I've had so many headaches and body aches plus getting ready for a partial knee replacement that I didn't get much done. The picture above is what I've done with all four sides so far. This pattern was designed by Victoria Sampler.
