Sky Blue Pink!

Wow - this was my view outside my window this morning as I had my first cuppa and stitched my first stitches of the day.  Isn't Mother Nature just the most awesome.....using her paintbox of all colors.

Looking west

My grandfather was a sailor before settling on a factory job.   I know the sailor's lament - Red sky at night sailors delight/red sky at morning, sailors take warning.   Not sure what we are in for today but I was surrounded by beautiful skies at sunrise.

As for stitching, I am moving along.   Fourteen sections completed and 19 to go!

 Finished up the roses this morning.   I am one thread off......I am not sure I will frog and restitch the leaves on the right or make it mine and leave it at stitched.

Queen Stitches were frogged and restitched.   I am happy I did redo these.   This time around my Queen Stitches were much nicer than the first time.

This verse says it all.

Happy stitching and happy week everyone.

    That's such a beautiful sampler - I wouldn't unpick the stitches. I really can't see any counting errors!

    Robin-I completed this one in 2014. The accessories are still waiting. You can do it!

    Robin,
    Sunrise pics are gorgeous. We also had a beautiful sunset--lots of pink sky again!
    Your stitching looks great--I did this about 10 years ago and loved it. You feel a real sense of accomplishment as you complete each section. Keep on stitchin'!!!

Thanks is much for stopping by. I so enjoy your comments even if I do not always reply. Have a great day that hopefully includes a bit of stitching.
