Lovely Linen ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends ~
Hope you enjoyed a restful weekend!

Schoolgirl Samplar Club Update ~

Decisions decisions, 
with so many lovely linens to choose from
picking just the right one is a process
of elimination... 
So many important factors to consider!

~ touch...do you prefer soft or stiff?
~  count...28, 30, 32, 35, 36 or 40?
~ color...light, medium or dark?
~  effects...plain or overdyed?

The chosen schoolgirl linen 
for the second club kit will be...
"ABECEDARIAN" Blend Linen 
 by R & R Reproductions

Schoolgirl Trivia ~
Do you know the meaning of Abecedarian?

Pertaining to the alphabet...
One who teaches or studies the alphabet,
one who is just learning; beginner.

Now, about those important factors...

This 36 count Abecedarian linen is soft 
to the touch, hand overdyed  in
a medium dye bath.

When ordering this linen I requested a
medium tone because not everyone
likes the darker tones!

I think this lovely linen will make
a sweet Schoolgirl Samplar...what do you think?

Class is almost full...
But, there are still a few seats available!

I enjoyed a fantastic stitch filled weekend,
enormous progress was made on the 
soon to be released Bee Samplar!  


I hope to have the sampler all finished in the
 next couple of weeks...maybe sooner!


I'll share a sneak peek in the next few days!

This Bee Samplar will fit nicely into a 
standard 10" by 10" frame.

Sunday, I enjoyed little break from stitching
  to take a walk on the farm...

~ Purple Coneflower and Queen Ann's Lace ~

I always enjoy the wild flowers that bloom
in the fields surrounding our pond.

~ Marsh Milkweed ~

Being very careful to watch and listen 
for busy bees and wasps!

When a man's ways please
the Lord, he maketh even his enemies
to be at peace with him.

Wishing you a wonderful week,
filled with contentment as we share the love
of our needles!

Farmhouse Blessings,

  1. Pretty linen.
    Love the old Beeskeps picture.
    The Queen Anne's Lace has gone wild here, must be the hot weather we've had.
    Seems to a lot more than last year.

  2. the linen is gorgeous ! I used to see that color every now and then but not for many years. Lucky you with that huge stack. Can't wait to see your sampler - glad your wasp stings are all better - Mel

  3. LOVE Abcdearian from R & R Reproductions, so glad you chose it! Would love to see a Schoolgirl Sampler done one 40ct, too. So glad you are recovering from your wasp stings. My arm swelled up from a sweat bee sting when I was a child, have avoided bees ever since. Eagerly looking forward to your next designs!
