Just look what I stitched at the weekend - my very first BBD piece - Summer Iris. This little sweetie was a gift from my friend Marg recently so it was my first choice to stitch while I wait for Elizabeth.
I stitched it on 32 Belfast in ivory with the DMC threads specified - and just look, I might even have the perfect piece of material to back it with. I haven't thought of what I will do with it yet, but that alphabet material is a really good match. Hmmmm maybe that M is a bit wonky - there wasn't much room for an M with a flourish - took me a few gos to get done but I will have to have another look at that.
So, there it is my 2nd finish for 2010.
I have two more small pieces kitted and ready to pick up and stitch but I will just go and check my visa account once?? more to see if Elizabeth has left Elegant Stitch yet. I can't wait!
Elizabeth who ??? Elizabeth Savilles 1841 Sampler, that's who.

Woo hoo Mary, you are on a roll!! Love your sweet little stitch and can't wait to see what you do with it. How big is it in reality? Maybe a pinkeep?? Me, I am still waiting on my first finish for 2010. Not sure if you can call a part of something a finish but if you can, I guess I have finished something with the basket top of Abigail Colby....then again, that might be cheating:))
Summer Iris looks lovely Mary and was probably a very quick stitch. Are you going to make a little pin cushion, I don't really know how big it is?
Summer Iris looks great, Mary! I say keep the M like that--I think it looks very nice... has a bit of a flourish to it.
