I did not know. Amy's needles from Thread in Hand were put down forever in May. I previously mentioned her blog and the interesting and intricate needlework projects that she featured. Just amazing talent. She received a new Amy Mitten kit right before she passed. She passed away the day after her final post. She will be missed.

I've not finished updating my linen inventory, and Lori's Spools of my Thread is being worked on until the kitting is done. I have loved this little bag for years, and am finally stitching it. I should have used 28 count for a larger bag, but I'm using the leftover from the last project and it will be tiny and sweet. And I spy an error in the following photo.

When I started samplers decades ago on 25 and 28 count from Scarlet Letter, alphabets were my favorite. Now, I see marking samplers in my files and am no longer drawn to them. Years ago I could not get enough of Sampler Farm Carol's albums. Her work was certainly not all alphabets, and I started slowly dipping my needle into new territory. I did stitch a few with limited motifs, none with elaborate borders that I can recall. Love love love those borders, hate hate hate to stitch them. But nothing worthwhile comes easy so put those big girl cottons on.
Some in the stack I have chosen have unique and beautiful borders. Not a wimp in the bunch. Which means I better get those cotton whiteys out, ready for action. In the meantime, sorting linen and enjoying Lori's chart will keep them dry.
OMG. AUGUST???
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just love Lori's little bag and the colors and ground are so subtle and rich.
Just love at the moment to stitch something simpel without big borders or a lot of 'things' in it.
Such as this little bag-- just love it!
Yes August has arived-- just 1 day left of July....
Take care and stay save, Truus from Holland
You are off to a good start on the spools bag by Lori! The stitching community lost a good soul when Amy passed.
I was not familiar with Amy for some reason (that reason most likely being the rock under which I dwell) but popped over just now and scrolled a bit. Wow. And so tragic. For some reason it gave me the most uneasy feeling learning she died the day after that post. This little bag is going to be so very sweet. Happy August Eve. Ick. ~Robin~
