... although it took me longer than I expected! I have been up the bush for a few days holiday. We had very hot weather for most of our stay but half way home the cool change hit and the temperature dropped to about 16 degrees - a huge change from the 43 a few days earlier.
I didn't take the Blessings sampler away with me because it is on a frame and too bulky. Instead I took SB's Happy Day Needleroll and worked on it a couple of the cooler nights - the colours are very bright after the sampler and of course it is stitched with two threads. It's nice to have a smaller project on hand as well.
I did post a photo (on my album) of my progress on Blessings before I went away, and since my return I have been fiddling with colours for the next band. These are the colours I have chosen today, but they could change by tomorrow !! I am thinking I may omit the second colour, leaving a space where it should be, it may not look so dense.
And since I took a photo of my other WIP while I had the camera out, I may as well show you SB Queen Bee Sampler - it's a sweet little one too - she's been in the stash for quite a few years now and has finally seen the light of day.
Off to put in a few more stitches (read that as fiddle with more threads !) lol

Mary, what wonderful WIP. SB has some of the most wonderful charts - I love the needle roll you are doing.
I look forward to seeing more of Blessings.
Lovely to see you back Mary. Your Happy Day and Queen Bee are looking good. How funny that you have decided to perhaps go with only one colour on the dreaded checker board row as after so much indecision on my part with colours, I have decided to do that very thing. I think it looks too heavy with the two colours so have decided on just one and to do a zig zag as opposed to the checker board and see how it looks. I think I recognise those scissors ;)

Mary, what a nice comment you left on my blog! That was so nice of you. :) I saved t to show my DH. I love your WIPs--I love SB but haven't stitched any of their designs in awhile. I love their needle rolls and have a bunch of their kits just waiting to be done. Great start on your Queen Bee!
