I put needle to thread yesterday, for the first time this year. I'm working on BBD Summer Iris.
BBD Summer Iris - started 3 January 2010
I already had it kitted and I'm stitching on the recommended WDW threads and 30ct Baby's Breath linen.
The thread colours are yummy looking and go so well with the fabric. They are: WDW Dove, Cappuccino, Rum Raisin, Fawn, and GA Grecian Gold.
This sweet design is just right for Summer stitching (sorry for those of you in the depths of Winter).
Thank you for visiting and please drop by again to see my progress!

Wow!!! Nice choice! I like it!
Lovely choice and don't you just love the names of the overdyed threads - they seem to conjure up all sorts of wonderful things.
Excellent choice for the first stitch:))))
I love this design.
Jane, thank you very much for your congratulations.
I also want to say thank you for your blog. What are you doing, brings other people joy and inspiration.
I really love all your works!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Wonderful start, and amazing pictures, as always :)
Lovely start to the New Year, its such a pretty stitch to do and you are right the colours are just so lovely, I have this in my stash too - we do like the same things LOL

This is one of my favorite patterns, and you're doing a beautiful job! I may just have to get this out and stitch it soon. I look forward to seeing your finish.
What a wonderful piece for the new year - I just love the soft colors in this one.
Happy New Year Jane!
What a gorgeous little sampler! I love the colors, and I haven't seen this one before. I sometimes forget that you are in the heat of summer, lucky girl! What a perfect project for those lazy summer days.
Hugs!
What a beautiful new start. I look forward to seeing this progress.
I just love this piece! It's a great start for the New Year!
Oh, I love this one, Jane! I have it and even ordered the floss (now where are the darn things?). I remembered seeing the colour Dove and really liked it!
I'm really liking what I see already! Hope your week back to work goes well.
I love this new project and the scrumptious colors that you're using to stitch it! Mmmmm, I can almost taste the sweetness. :)
Lovely start to the New Year. The colors remind gentle spring breeze. I love it.
That's a lovely design!!! :)
What a lovely start for 2010! The colours are gorgeous. Like your new background too!
Such a lovely new start. Seeing all the snow outside I particularly love the thought of summer that comes from it.
Don't you think our stitching should lift us out of doldrums of winter :-)? Love your new piece, the BBD ladies are favorites for me.
Beautiful start Jane! I love the colors in this design! I also love your new blog design! You are so talented! :)
It's such a lovely start ! My first stitches for 2010 was "Snow Patch" of Shepherd's Bush and I'm completly addicted !!
It's a lovely new start, the colours are so delicate
Great new start Jane-so soft and pretty! Congrats on all your finishes last year! I can't remember if I asked before, but how are you making your collage? Do you use a tempate or from scratch? Either way, I love that! Hopefully I'll be checking in more often!
Jane, I just discovered your blog thru Su's linky 2009 recap party. I missed the party linkup but sure am glad I discovered some new blogs.
Love your stitching; everything is so lovely!
