I am weak....so weak...

yes....I know....how many more can she have, you say? WIP's, that is.....

I have been wanting to work on a sampler by Brenda Keyes (The Sampler Company) for a long time. Well, yesterday I got a little push....yep...started another one. The Plymouth Sampler:

WIP 50609

I pulled the threads for it (changing most of the DMC colors to NPI's) and I had a piece of 32 count Lakeside Linen in Maritime White that was just the perfect size. I decided to only use one thread of NPI to give it a more delicate look.

Not too much to show yet...but I wanted to work from the top center down to give myself some areas to work outward. You can see the year 1620 in Roman numerals. :) I'll finish crossing those stitches in the border once I get a little more of the alphabet done.

Plus - a little quilting update:

Not the best picture or angle, but I was trying to hurry before the batteries died on my camera.

Thanks for coming by! :O)
