1839 Susan Rambo Sampler
by Janis Lockhart of Cross-Points Designs
@SANQ #62
Fabric: 40ct Vtg. Maple Sugar @LLs
Fiber: called NPI w/some substituions
Yes, she is the winner
among other strong candidates!

I finally got to use the thread I've been
wondering about all last week
for the first flower at down left border.
NPI #603 is the one called for,
and my substitution is #931.
I think #932 would be also a very good one,
but I choose #931 just because of
the contrast with my fabric
(Vtg. Maple Sugar by LLs.)
as well as the rest of the thread palette
I'm using for her.
While looking at her picture,
I noticed there seems to be a" leave" missing
at the top right corner.
In her whole entire picture on SANQ,
I do see one right there,
however it's not charted.
So now I'm all done with
her colors and good to go!

ReplyDeleteWonderful, Merumo! Great choice of colour. I will post my progress tomorrow. After that i will make a little break and return to MG and others things for a few days.
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress, Merumo! Are you going to stitch the leaf in? I rarely compare the picture to my stitching, just to the chart as I go along--I need to be more observant! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching thank you for sharing your lovely work!!!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn :)
What a lovely start! I have admired Susan since I first saw her in SANQ and will enjoy watching your progress!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteOk, check! 931! lol! I have to get that -- don't have it in my stash. Susan is just so beautiful! Between your pictures of Susan and Sandra's pics of Ann Grant, I'm having a tough time here! :D Glad you decided to go with Susan. Very observant on that leaf. I'm like Siobhan -- I don't think I would have noticed it was missing.
ReplyDeleteSusan is coming along beautifully! I will make note of your floss change (I'm STILL waiting for my silks!). Good thing you found the missing leaf too!
ReplyDeleteSusan is looking lovely. I love how the colours are working up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress Merumo!! I really like the 931!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Merumo! Absolutely gorgeous - the colors and your stitching are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI just love your progress pictures Merumo. So gorgeous!!! I can't believe how fast she is growing.
