How about sttiching?


School Girl Sampler Thimble Purse
Fabric: 40ct Lakeside Linens,
 Unknown colorway
Fiber: GA and WDW

I fell in love with this one!
I converted all the blue parts into
 red & pink (Anything new?),
but it looks pink isn't a good choice as 
there isn't much of
good contrast :(

But I'm brave.
I will keep going!
(People say it's called just being lazy.)

I still need to get a glue what
Brenda recommends in her instructions
to work with some fine areas.


Fabric: 40ct Vtg. Examplar
 by Lakeside Linens
Fibers: GA - called for
SAL with Janet and Deb@ LNS

Look what we all finished!?


I'm so proud of us finished Ann
as we planned!!

And it was such a fun thing
stitching along :D


Katy Horn

Fabric: 40ct Lakeside Linens, 
Vtg. Exampler
Fibers: Converted to NPI
SAL with Janet and Deb @ LNS

And now we are proudly moving to
our next SAL project we just picked
on last Sampler Sunday.

Are we having fun yet?


And another fun thing I had with
my all time favorite French blogger was
a private stash swap.

Here is what she sent to me.
I feel so lucky to receive
all the antique laces, printed linen fabrics
and more!


She also included this laundry initial tape
in my not so real initial -
she chose the one has "MT" which
stands for my blogland pseudo name
"merumo" and my real name starts from
"T".

How thoughtful can it be?

She said in her note to wash the lace trims
as they are quite old and dirty.
But I think I will even enjoy that dirty part
of the laces as they really look gorgeous as is!!

Merci :)))

  2. Very pretty lace, Merumo. And grats to all of you on finishing the sampler. They all look so different because of your choices of fabby. Great job, ladies!! (And SALs are so fun, aren't they?!?)

  3. Hi Merumo san!
    It's been a while since the last time I left you a comment and also contacted to you!

    How lovely purse you are making!
    I've heard that to make purse is quite difficult, so I send you "Gambatte!" call.
    I'm sure you can make it, though!

    And your Ann is so beautiful!
    Every one's finished pieces are great!!

    I'm looking forward to see your progress of the next project!
