1548
Does the title ring a bell?
Was it an important date in history?
Is it my street address?
Perhaps my age?
Nope - none of the above. According to the pattern there are 1548 'X's necessary to complete the bottom shelf of Frederick's bookcase - and I have stitched each and every one of them. Boooooooooring but DONE!! Not much point in a picture - hopefully next time.
Instead a picture of 'High Hopes" which is such a sweet pattern and a joy to work on. What started out as my Wednesday project at SP is now being picked up as often as possible. There is always something new to discover in this little garden which makes stitching it a real adventure.

I hope you read this ! I will probably be at SP tomorrow (wednesday) between 12:30 and 2ish as well as thursday!! I hope to see you! I'll e-mail you just in case you don't read this!
Well I can't find your e-mail so I'll just see you there!!!!
oh, this is great-love it!
Margaret, I just love your little garden! I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
I love the little garden! You are doing a great job!
I love your version of HH, I have this started (last year) but it has become a UFO and to be honest I much prefer the single strand of thread look on yours to the suggested 2 strands. It looks much more delicate and like a watercolour this way more how I prefer things to look. I'll have to start again if I go back to it!
Have a nice weekend :-)
Love your garden. Beautiful stitching. x
Oh my, it's time I started doing some more on Fred! 1548 you say? Gracious!
Margaret, I'm just preparing to begin my Frederick...this will be something I'll look forward to, NOT! Can't wait to see your finished project.
You are so dedicated! I would have thrown Federic in the corner... Oops, he is there anyway... I have starteritis with cross stitching. At least my socks get eventually finished. Need to take some pictures and update. I actually do cross stitch these days, just not Federic.
Hang in there with Fredrick he'll be great!
Beautiful stitching!
It was great meeting you at SP last wednesday!!! My Venus thread is in the mail!!! So soon you'll be able to help me pick out some hand dyed to stitch Queen of the Fairies on and then watch her come to life!!!!! Such fun!!!!
Oh and I re-started Fairy Celebration with the thread you picked and I love it!!! So thank you!!!!
Hi Margaret,
I haven't given up on Federic (for some reason this is how his name looks in my mind), but he is currently in time out.
Seeing your Frederick however does make me want to dig him out again.

That is going to be a beautiful piece. Just love the garden.
