Oops! I dropped off the face of earth again! I meant to come back sooner, but didn't want to come back empty handed. I had this fabulous idea that I'd have a quick finish for the first of the year to start of twenty-ten with a BANG! But as usual my stitching intentions was bigger and took longer than my rear end was plastered to my stitching chair. In reality I should have had this done by no later than January 4th, but alas here it is January 11th and I just slipped the final stitches in a couple of hours ago....
So without further ado, please let me introduce you to Mistress Margaret Pence....
Designer: The Goode Huswife ~ Anne BrownDesign: Margaret Pence
Fabric: 28 ct. Autumn Fields Belfast Linen
Fibers: DMC mostly my own color choices
So...
What do YOU think? Hmmm? I think it's pretty darn fantabulous, that's what I think! And it's my very first Adam and Eve for my future A & E wall! Gol' Darn'it I love this stitching finishes stuff. Wish I had more of 'em!
What...
is next up on my list? Well you're just gonna have to wait ;o)
But it does fit in with "Vonna's idea of fantastic stitching in twenty-ten!" Since I never *never* EVER stick to a single thing that I write down about stitching goals and such, I'm just keeping it to myself. That way I can tickle your fancy and keep you coming back for more. I mean why *should* you buy the cow if you get the milk free? Hmmm? See, our Mother's really DID know what they were talking about.
Oh yeah....and if anyone would like to trade charts with me for this out of print chart, I'd be happy to trade for a chart that is by the same designer, another design of A & E that I may not have by a different designer or something. Drop me a line if you are interested.
And until next time my pretties....
put your hands to work and give your hearts to God.
Love and Hugs,
Vonna
Missed ya!

Beautiful finish, Vonna! I'd love to trade for that chart -- haven't been able to find it anywhere.

ReplyDeleteVonna,
ReplyDeleteI have a great A & E chart from Examplars called "And They Sinned" if your interested.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful first finish for 2010, congrats!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic start to the new stitching year! I love your sampler Vonna, and as always, you did a beautiful job of stitching. Look forward to seeing what you decide to stitch next!
ReplyDeleteVonna, as usual, you have hit it out of the park--fabulous design (which I've never seen before!) It pretty much glows on the page. And that is a great picture of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish !
ReplyDeleteLove your A&E Vonna. Great way to start off the new year. I LOVE Goode Huswife designs, but I must say I have never seen this one before. Looking forward to **What's Next**.
ReplyDeleteOooh, Vonna, love this design. Please email me and maybe we can trade. I want to start a collection of A&E as well!
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a great 2010 start!
Very nice finish. And quick too.
ReplyDeleteLooking for progress on PS ABC's. I love that way of doing all those pieces.
Vonna, wow! You rock! This is one of my coming-soon starts. I love it! Great job. I think it looks great on the Autumn Fields, too. I can't wait to see what you work on next! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new pic of you, you gorgeous thing, you! ;)
Very cool design. Love those primitive fig leaves!
ReplyDeleteAn A&E wall sounds interesting.
What a lovely variation on the Adam and Eve theme ...I look foward to seeing your A & E wall develop.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have been thinking of starting and A&E wall but OMG do I really need all those extra stitching projects? lol. Maybe I will take the leap later this year!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Vonna. What other Adam and Eve patterns are you planning? For my Christmas present to myself I bought "And They Sinned," now there's an ambitious stitching project for you!
ReplyDeleteLove, love the finish, Vonna! Definitely worth the wait to see! Now I know what I'm going to have to stitch soon. This is the year I'm going to have one A&E going at all times!!! And I like this one because it's not a BAP. Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish for the first of the year. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back blogging.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish! It will be fun to see what your next stitch will be.
