I have run out of Scuppernong. That's the Week's overdye that I'm using for stems along the outside of Mr. and Mrs. Eden. I have decided to hold off doing more until my additional Scuppernong comes home. So, here's the progress picture I promised to have up by last weekend - there's a road paved somewhere with my good intentions - more like a highway, actually.
I mentioned this last year - that I think turquoise is a great neutral. Once again, I think I'm right. I LOVE how it looks as the words on this sampler. Really livens things up. Here are some closeups of the animals . . .

I am particularly pleased with the way the Canada Goose came out. I had to blend overdyes to get the colors to come out the way I wanted them on the horse. The very first horse I ever saw in my life was a palamino and it was love at first sight. I still enjoy seeing them in the Tournament of Roses Parade which is coming up just around the corner on New Year's Day. I just have the dog, vegetation and birds along the top to do. Remember, I'm redoing an animal that I can't identify to look like my Jack Russell, Nehi - to remember him.
Meanwhile, since I can't just SIT and watch T.V. in the evenings, I've picked up Brooke's Book's Spirit of Christmas Stitching to work on. Yes, I'm still working on Spirit of America, but that's been put somewhere "safe" for now. I think you know what
that means. Anyway, this one is seasonal and pretty too. Hope you enjoyed.
Oh my goodness!! That looks fabulous! You've really made a ton of progress. Your Brooke's Books piece looks great, too. YGG!!
