I love this sampler and I am really glad I pulled it out to work on today. I hope you don't get too bored with my WIP post-I still plan to stitch SMALLS and other projects but I REALLY want to get back to some larger pieces. I am trying to decide what piece I want to start for my mom for Christmas...right now it's between 3 large hummingbird designs. I want to make a decision soon and get that underway as well.
Here's the prior progress..
Herb Window Garden Details
and here's what I accomplished today :)
And what it will look like when finished!
We have a SAL going for Thursday's for the Happy Home Sampler I shared in my last post...Vonna, Amy, Lynda???? and myself so far :) Feel free to join us if you would like. We are going to start this Thursday, but as we are only stitching one day a week (Thursday's) there's time to catch up if you want to start later :) Vonna has hand-dyed her own fabric for this project...it sounds gorgeous, I look forward to seeing it!
I finally had some time to sit down and thumb through my other magazines I got today...I found a couple more MUST stitch for me.
Landscape Sampler by Phyllis Hoffman from the June 2008 Just Cross Stitch
S is for Stitcher Sampler from the June 2008 Cross Country Stitching
And also I want to start this Marriage Sampler Soon for Rick and myself. OOOH, it's just gorgeous and called Marriage Takes Three from Stoney Creek.
Thanks so much for stopping by :) I appreciate you all so very much!
hugs,

Becky, I have started reading your blog and enjoy. I also love bees, as my name is Deborah and in Hebrew means bumblebee or industrious one. I really love the herb garden window. Can you tell me the name of the designer? i would love to stitch as i also love blue and white.
have a lovely day and vacation with hubby.
You have some really nice WIPs going there. Looking forward to seeing your progress1
Becky, I'm sure that I 'speak' for everyone who reads your blog: your stitching could never be boring!
I love everything you have shown! I wish I were still getting my Jeremiah Junction mags I love that piece!
My SIL and BIL used the Marriage Takes Three poem on the bookmarks they gave out as favors for their wedding. I couldn't find a piece using that poem that I liked, so I ended up modifying another pattern and charting out the poem myself. The one you picked is just BEAUTIFUL though - what a treasure it will be when you're done.
The Herb Garden piece is lovely. Great colors.
I also have my eye on "S is for Stitcher Sampler". I'm not sure what number it is on my ever-lengthening list!
I am so excited to see some of your bigger WIPs come together! I can't imagine being bored at anything on your blog! And that "Marriage Takes Three" design is absolutely gorgeous!
You've picked out some really great stuff there...I fell in love with the landscape sampler when I saw the cover of that mag!!!
That's very pretty. I can assure you I won't get bored looking at your progress on it.
I love to see your WIPs and will not get bored with seeing them! The Herb Window is gorgeous
Becky I could never get bored with your blog and seeing your lovely pieces whether they be smalls or larger ones. I love your WIP and also the things you want to start:)
Another pretty for us to view. :D I love seeing all your stitching cuz it's always so beautiful.

And that Marriage takes three is gorgeous!
Oh, I am glad to see the herb sampler again!!! I absolutely love that one & had enjoyed seeing it. All of the others you are planning to do are great as well!!!! keep up the inspiring!!!!
That herb garden piece is going to be beautiful. You have a really ambitious schedule planned with all of those samplers. Good luck and I'll be watching your progress.
What lofty goals!! Oh, your Herb Garden is gorgeous - I loved seeing it again too!
It's nice to see Herb Window Garden again Becky :)
It looks like you've got some nice large projects lined up!
Wow Becky...you sure are going to be busy with your big projects but they are all so beautiful though...I love that Herb Garden and the Marriage one. Your other one is beatiful too. I just love your stitching and all of your projects.
Take care & Happy Stitching
I remember this piece! You're making good progress on it.
Good for you for thinking early and picking out your mother's Christmas present. I haven't given it any thought, but I don't think I'm going to stitch any gifts this year. Maybe!
Thanks for the magazine previews. I really like the stitcher piece. Another magazine for me to pick up! :-)
Happy Stitching Becky!
Those are great sampler's!
Herb window garden is looking beautiful.
You have some lovely looking WIPss there. Looking forward to seeing their progress.
Becky,I think it is great that you are getting back to you'r WIP's. The current wip looks like a great design.
I am in love with chart from the current JCS magazine. I want to start that one,but it wont be possible until I move and get settled in.
Take Care
