The dreaded cloud is next. lol!
And here is the Richmond Sampler. It was a relief to get the next monthly assignment and have something to stitch besides the border and verse.
I'm still working on that tree -- thus the hole on the right side of it.
In other news, I wanted to ask for your good thoughts and prayers for my FIL. He had a mild heart attack last Wednesday evening and has been in the hospital for tests and such since. We're waiting for more news at this point -- waiting is the hardest part. A triple bypass might be in his future. :(
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I always enjoy our visits.
Great progress on your stitching. I'd have to do some smalls in between working on these larger pieces since I love the feel of a 'finish'!
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for your FIL.
Your work is beautiful! You're making great progress -which I know seems slow when the projects are so big. I also, am a big fan of the BAP...... :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope your FIL recovers quickly and perhaps the news won't be as bad as you fear. Good luck.
Nah, never boring! Lovely progress on both pieces. Sorry to hear about your FIL, sending good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteNOT boring in the least to me-your progress is always so beautiful and I love seeing it :)
ReplyDeletePrayers going up for your FIL! and YOUR family!
((hugs my friend))
Best of luck to your FIL, that is so scary!
ReplyDeleteLove your work, and you are making great progress on those samplers!
Hope that your FIL is doing better. My prayers are with you. Wonderful progress on your WIP's.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on your stitching. Your work is so beautiful:))
ReplyDeleteWishing your FIL good thoughts as you and your family wait.
Our prayers are with your FIL & family!
ReplyDeleteWow, those WIPs are stunning...can't wait to see the finished pieces!
HAPY STITCHIN'

WOWZERS Margaret! You are bookin' along on those!! I'm choking on your dust! ;o)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the FIL news. Sending good thoughts!
Lots of good thoughts and prayers for your FIL!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your ATS and Richmond piece :-).
Prayers and good thoughts being said (and thought) for your FIL, Margaret! Big hugs to all of you, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress on both samplers!
Beautiful work as always. I can never see enough of your talent! My prayers are with you FIL and family.
ReplyDeleteOh, wishing our FIL a speedy recovery without surgery.
ReplyDeleteYour ATS is growing - I am sure you will whip that cloud out in no time. It really is not that bad. I started out outlining the thing, then putting in several threads, and then I would go stitch a motif just for variety's sake. I did stitch the middle portion pretty much straight through b/c I wanted to get done with it.
Your Richmond sampler is getting prettier and prettier.
Sending positive thoughts for your FIL's speedy recovery and that it's not as serious as it sounds. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteYour ATS progress is great! Good luck on the cloud...count often! The Richmond Sampler is stunning!
Well I don't think it's boring at all! I love to see all your progress. Best wishes for your FIL. Hope he pulls through soon and starts to fell better. xx
ReplyDeleteI will keep your FIL in my thoughts for a quick recovery Margaret {{hugs}}. Great progress on your WIPs, they're both so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteFab as always Margaret. Hope FIL gets feeling better, and soon! Love your progresses!
ReplyDelete{{{HUGS}}} and prayers are going out to you, your family and especially your FIL. I know this is a tough time and my hope is that your FIL will recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteYour progress on Richmond is just beautiful! Honestly Margaret, your stitching is breath-taking! I am so glad to be working on the same project (albeit slower!) as you! Can't wait to see more pics!
Hi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteYour FIL is in my prayers. Hope all goes well with him.
Great progress on both samplers. The Richmond sampler is stunning and it is lovely to be able to see it up close. - Sandra.
So sorry to hear about your FIL Margaret - if surgery is in his future - I pray he will make a full and speedy recovery.

In what way is that supposed to be boring! I think it's fascinating! I love seeing the project pics. Best wishes to your FIL. Tell him my father had a heart attack, then a bypass, is 83 and going strong--can do everything he wants to do!
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for your FIL.

ReplyDeleteAnne Marie is a beauty as always (must be the name) and progress on ATS could never, ever be boring. At least, not to us onlookers :o))
Your samplers look great, never boring. You are zooming along on the Richmond Sampler! Your needle must be smoking hot!
ReplyDeleteI'll say a few prayers for your FIL that everything works out as best as possible. Hope you are all hanging in there as best as the situation allows, Margaret.
Realizzi dei lavori meravigliosi!!!
ReplyDeleteCiao.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've been lurking here at yours for a couple of months and just love your work. I've been thinking of de-lurking to introduce myself and gush over your stitching, and hearing about your FIL was the kick I needed. I do hope he gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteThere is never anything boring about your blog posts, my friend. Your progress on the RS is astounding as always.
ReplyDeleteI hope your FIL has a speedy recovery.
Progress pics are never boring!! You're really moving along. Thanks for putting down the needle long enough to post.
ReplyDeleteHope your FIL is doing a bit better. Enjoyed seeing your progress pics. Two lovely pieces. Good luck with the dreaded cloud!
ReplyDeleteLots of prayers for your FIL. And goodness you've gotten a ton done on both pieces! You're going to pass me on ATS for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your FIL - hope everything goes ok with his surgery. Both your wips are looking great!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your father-in-law's heart attack, Margaret--I know how scary that is...My mom suffered a severe heart attack and by-pass surgery 14 years ago and today she's stronger than ever. Sending all good thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteYour WIPs are so lovely--thanks for sharing :)
Margaret, Sorry to hear about your FIL, he is in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your two wips, they are looking lovely.
You are anything BUT boring, dear Margaret. Your wips are so lovely, enjoying seeing every stitch.
ReplyDeleteWill most definitely be praying for him and the rest of your family, as you be the best you can for him.
{{{hugs}}}
Oh, Margaret! Your samplers are NOT boring! Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. I pray he will have a full recovery. Keep us posted.
Sorry to hear about your FIL. Hopefully the news won't be too bad. A friend of mine had a valve replacement last year and is doing fine, so you never know.
ReplyDeleteWill definitely keep your FIL in my thoughts. We are actually hoping to visit him when we are in his neck of the woods (probably not until early next year).
ReplyDeleteLoving your sampler progress, as usual.
Those are some funky birds, but I like 'em! :)
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts your FiL's way.
Magnifique ! very nice,
ReplyDeleteI love you progress
