This is the Day - A Finish

I finished up "This is the Day" Saturday morning.  I love it, I love it, I love it.  It uses only seven total colors, and three of those are just accent colors, yet it seems lush and vibrant.  I enjoyed working with Needlepoint Silks.

October was a strange month for me personally, so the sentiment of this sampler has become very dear to me.

This is the Day - Progress Report

I am making good progress and very much enjoying stitching this sampler.

The sentiment is something that this year I've attempted consciously to speak aloud or meditate on for a quiet moment as I begin each day.

This is the Day - Update

By their very nature, borders are usually rather boring to stitch.

In this case, however, I've found stitching the border to be a soothing and affirming exercise.

The colors used are glorious! 

This is the Day

After churning out several "small" projects, I decided it was time to have a "big" project kitted up and ready to go.

I've chosen "This is the Day" by La-D-Da.  

Am stitching on 36 count "Heritage" linen by Picture This Plus and using the Needlepoint Silks as charted.
