Look what I found? At last. It went missing & I found it yesterday. Yippie Skippie. The boys wanted to use the internet at the public library [faster connection] and I sat in my car & stitched in the herbs. After a few cross stitches, I realized some frogging was necessary. Took some stitching out - restitched. This is a darling-cute sampler IMO. Herb Garden by Little House Needleworks. c.2004 Diane Williams. 63w x 96h. I am using the suggested DMC floss on 28-ct lilac linen. (my current traveling project)
Before I located Herb Garden, I finished stitching 'the bird' in Gilded Cage, and plan to keep stitching this project at home. The DMC floss is bright and cheerful. A delight to stitch this delightful piece.

Both WIPs are lovely, but I particularly like the colours of the Gilded Cage - very vibrant!
Woot! Look at that progress. You go, girl! Congratulations on finding your missing project, too. That always makes you feel better.
I just love both your WIP's. They are coming along nice. Please! NO more frogging!!! lol Ranae
The bird looks great. Also, nice start on Herb Garden, that is such a sweet one.

If memory serves me right, this CHS design is charted for NPI silks, right? Have you posted your DMC conversion? I ask because it is stunning and I bet a lot of others would be interested in tackling the project if they didn't have to spend an arm & a leg on the silks. (I cheated and got Vicki Clayton's conversion...)
Oh, I love the bird! He's beautiful!
Plus, I love Herb Garden - the fabric you're using really brings out the colors!
Both are lovely!
Nice progress on both projects :)
