Getting There...

No stocking or ornaments this weekend, just Spring Sampler.  I went to Stitch Night (more about that in a minute) on Friday and finished the "C" block and got a good runny-go on the frog, then this afternoon I sat down and finished the frog and did the little blue flowers around him and the pink butterfly.  The last critter is a bird (the brown blob in the lower left), then a little more border and one last rectangle with 2 pink flowers on the bottom.  There are two more samplers on this chart and I'm thinking seriously about stitching both of them.  I just love the colors in these.

This is the whole thing so far:
I've been joining some ladies for Stitch Night on Friday nights recently.  They used to meet at the French Knot, a recently-closed local LNS :-(  and now are getting together on Fridays at a couple of local Panera restaurants (yummmm!), alternating Fridays at each location.  Lee invited me to join them; my first Friday was two weeks ago and then I went again this past Friday and enjoyed myself tremendously both times.  We stitch in the "VIP" room at Panera.  It's a great group of ladies and they're fun to stitch with, not to mention that it's a good excuse to have dinner at Panera (broccoli and cheese soup -- mmm, mmm, good!).

Hoping everyone has a good week -- happy stitching!

Your PS sampler is really getting there - looks great. I'm sad your LNS closed but good you stitchers are carrying on with your stitch night. I have SO many PS charts I want to stitch, they alone could keep me busy for several years. Looking forward to seeing a finish on this one soon!
