The sampler house WIP

I've started a new project, The Sampler House from With Thy Needle and Thread. I really like Brenda Gervais designs, I've seen a good few of her designs stitched and finished on other peoples blogs. They have inspired me to purchase a couple which I've kitted up and there waiting to be stitched. I've picked The Sampler House to stitch first for no particular reason and I am sticking with the recommended threads and linen. So far I am really pleased with how it's turning out I love the muted colours against the darker linen.


The picture above shows the pattern cover photo against the recommended linen it's a lot darker but I really like the colour.


I've been enjoying a cup of tea with my stitching in my favourite spotty mug, with the sun shinning and the kids at school it's been a peaceful way to spend the afternoon.


This is my progress in the last couple of days!
