I just heard Margaret has also started
on her Susan now!!
Since she has a super turbo on her needle,
I've already heard her coming this way
and it actually woke me up in this morning.
Yes, it was that loud! lol
As for my Susan,
she is slowly growing.
I just finished stitching a little bush with
some purple flowers or fruits on it,
as you see in the above picture
with "<--- ???".
The reason I put that is
as I'm not totally sold by that particular
light green at all.
It's NPI #542.
It looks like out of the color tone from
the whole entire thing to me.
I may have to substitute that one
with NPI #342 which has been used for
the vines on the borders.
Ms. Limo sends a lazy afternoon hi to everyone :)

OMG !!! She's almost done !!! What a beauty !
ReplyDeleteI can not believe that you are so far along on this. It's just stunning! And yes, I know that Margaret started this one too - so you better look over your shoulder. She's a fast stitcher too!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Merumo,I can imagine Susan is a favourite by many stitcher's:) and I do not believe it! SL Margaret!!!, well watch out she is ms.Turbo indeed, you will have to get on your bike and stitch 24/7 ROFLOL. I did see it:) and the border is done!!! is there still hope for us:))
ReplyDeleteSusan is soooo pretty!!! Don't worry, you'll finish way before I do. I just started! As for the NPI 542 -- you're right, it is very different, isn't it? It's hard to tell from the picture though how out of character it is. I have to admit I love bright yellow green. lol! I think the 342 would look nice.
ReplyDeleteMs Limo is so cute!!! I love that pic of her enjoying the sun.
LOL Ms Limo cracks me up! Susan is gorgeous....I have yet to order the fibers for her, but seeing your progress makes me want to do that soon! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! and so ambitious. I'll be watching to see the finished project. I hope you get to laze in the sun, too!
ReplyDeleteYour Susan R. looks fantastic. I agree with you about the 542... it does look 'off' and I would choose to darken it up a bit.
ReplyDeleteMs. Limo looks very relaxed. We have not had sunshine for a very long time.
Susan is looking beautiful. I knew that she would as soon as I saw her even before I got the magazine in my hot little hands.
ReplyDeleteYep, you had better sit and stitch 24/7 as Margaret is chasing you lol. I always love to see what Miss Limo is up to. Love this photo of her by the pool. - Sandra.
Gosh, Susan is looking spectacular! You're on the home stretch now, Merumo! Having Margaret start hers is a good incentive to speed your finish along - she does have turbo needles!
ReplyDeleteMs Limo is looking very relaxed there! I can feel that heat just looking at the photo! Here it is wet and cold!
LOL, you are so right, Margaret with her turbo needles - she might even beat you to the finish!!
ReplyDeleteYour Susan is absolutely beautiful, and you are so close to finishing her. Rooting you on to the end.
Grats on your progress. Susan looks good. I know someone else who's working on this, but she just got started. It's nice to see the whole thing (almost).
ReplyDeleteA spectacular job, I love.
ReplyDeleteHugs , Anna
OMG Susan is soooo gorgeous and almost finished.........I'm sure now that Margaret has started, that it will spur you on to finish this lovely sampler. Wonder weather you are already thinking about your next project LOL
ReplyDeleteI love Ms Limo,my Molly has just made friends with a MD called Gus...
Hugs Britta
Susan is beautiful! That green does look a little out of place, but maybe it will make more sense when it's all done? You do have to watch out for Margaret - she is super speedy!! I'm trying to find out her secret!
ReplyDeleteYou are almost finished, Merumo !!! It is looking beautiful...
