A finish and a new SAL

I have finally finished the stitching part of Blackbird Designs Peacock Pinkeep.  This was a SAL with my good friend Carol and she finished hers the same month we started but has been patiently waiting to finish it until I had my stitching done.  Yippee!!  Happy Dance Carol!  I finished the stitching.  My motivation was a new SAL.

 Our new SAL is Thistle Lavender Bag and Accessories by Jeanette Douglas Designs.  Each year I meet up with my Celebrations Stitching Group at Celebrations of Needlework in Nashua NH.  If you have never been, they have quite the line-up of class offerings and fun activities, not to mention the SHOPPING MALL!!!  Anyways,  Carol and I have not touched the class (actually 2) we took together so we decided it would be our next SAL in hopes of completing it before this years Celebrations.  We can't seem to justify taking more classes without finishing the ones we have already taken.  (Well. that's the idea anyway)

This is a picture of what I completed in class last year.  The picture doesn't do this justice.  If you are a purple lover, this is the project for you.  The fabric is lilac and the silks are beautiful purples and greens.  I hope I can keep up with Carol ,the speed stitcher but I promise I won't be far behind.

Until next time,   Happy Stitching!!
