Well, as you can see the end is nearly there for Elizabeth. Hopefully I will have her completely finished by the weekend. It is not until you really get up close to her to see how absolutely beautiful she is.I noticed on the Scarlett Letter website the other day, that you can by the model of this sampler for $2,000 framed. I can understand why as there is so much work in it. I told my DH. He didn't seem to be impressed by this news (he's not a sampler lover) and told me "Good, don't give it away to anyone, we'll sell it". I think he has 2 chances of that happening lol.
I am looking forward to starting something new, but I can't make up my mind as usual. I don't know whether to sit down and finish my Beatrix Potter. I am over half way with her. Or to start something that I'm itching to do and that is Betsy Davis. Ah decisions, decisions. I will have to see what mood I am in when I finish Elizabeth.
Love your blog background and banner!
ReplyDeleteYou are so disciplined! Elizabeth is almost finished and she is amazing!!
The 2 chances your husband has of you selling her...would they be 1) slim and 2) none....lol...
I wouldn't sell her:)
Elizabeth is looking so divine!! Sure can tell that is lots of work, and no way, is $2000. is enough to compensate all of the hours of stitching on it, framed or not!
ReplyDeleteI vote for starting the one you are itching to do, BP can wait longer! You deserve it!
Just gorgeous! This is going to be one spectacular finish. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing piece. And almost done. And no, I would never sell such a piece where I had put so much work into.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about your DH cracked me up because my husband is the exact same way - doesn't like samplers and thinks they're "dark". I said he had serious reservations about marrying me because they didn't have the letter "J" in them and he didn't think I knew my alphabet! HA! Anyway, your Elizabeth is absolutely amazing! This is going to be spectacular when finished and framed!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Elizabeth!! What a piece of work. Great to see her almost done too! Simply amazing!!! It is a hard call on what to do next, BP or new?? Gosh, It is hard, but I think I would finish BP, but maybe a tiny start in the new piece?? LOL!!!
ReplyDeletewow! the sampler is looking gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat an accomplishment! You should be so proud of that sampler. I wonder what you'll do next?
ReplyDeleteI vote for Betsy Davis (although who asked me?--LOL)
ReplyDeleteFunny, I noticed that on SL when I got the recent newsletter and thought of your project. It's worth more than $2000!
Nice new start. Can't wait to see her unfold. I wish I could send you some of our heat. It's supposed to be 107 by the weekend. I could use some of your cold weather to balance it out.
