But I thought I'd tease you with artsy shots first. :D
I'm very pleased with my Rachel. Oh, and lots of people have been asking about Rachel. She is OOP, I'm afraid. And my chart is already spoken for. Sorry!
Rachel Hyde is by Threads Through Time. She was stitched on 40ct. Zweigart Summer Khaki linen with the DMC threads called for.
In other news, a while ago, Deborah Thorpe of Midsummer Night Designs posted in her blog about her new designs. One of them didn't have a name and she was looking for suggestions. Well, I suggested a name, and she liked it! And she told me she would send me the chart I'd named as a thank you! I was thrilled! But when the package came in the mail, it was awfully thick. I thought it was a bit too thick for just one chart. And I was right! Deborah sent me all three of her new designs! I was thrilled to bits! (I named the one called "Peace Inside.")
Thank you so much Deborah! You're so generous!!
I'm off to do some more house cleaning. Talk about Spring cleaning! lol!
