This design uses very unusual color combinations.  I think it works because they are all bold, "royal" colors.  I decided not to stitch the sampler letters, as I preferred the cleaner look of the design without them.

  

HandWork Primitives Peacock - Progress

This is certainly an interesting use of color!  The chart indicates sampler letters stitched around the peacock inside the border.  I kind of like the clean, uncluttered look sans the alphabet...so I may nix that.

Another Peacock!

If one project is good, then are two projects twice as good?

Hmmm...anyway I've begun to stitch this "HandWork Primitives" piece,

 "The Peacock Sampler".  The color combinations are very unusual - certainly nothing I'd ever have chosen - it will be interesting to seem the finished work.

Continuing with the Rabbit Theme

I bought this Handworks Primitive piece on Ebay just a few days ago. It is called "The Bunny Notebook Cover". I do not have the talent necessary to make a notebook cover, but I did not allow that to stop me from stitching! I began this on August 5th and finished it up this morning. The piece is stitched on 32 count R & R Lite Chino linen using the Gentle Arts fibers as charted. I think that it is charming!
