It seems there are a lot of us enabling each other with projects lately. Thanks to everyone who commented on the last post. I am really loving all of the projects being stitched out there and it's so hard to stop stashing. I didn't show you a photo of the other chart I bought - Scarlett Letter's Elizabeth Sheffield was delivered recently. I am waiting to get silk threads from Carrie's Threads and some AVAS from ABC Stitch Therapy before deciding on a fabric for another BAP!
Last night I dug through my 30ct WDW stash and found two possible pieces for the Brenda Gervais Mystery Sampler. I had a 30ct piece of Confederate Grey which is the top piece and another that I lost the label which might be platinum or beige. After some serious contemplation, I decided to go with the Confederate Grey. The chart called for 35ct but I think I will be just as happy with 30ct - especially since I already had it and could start much sooner than if I had to order fabric.
So as it was another rainy, rainy day, I rushed home from work and put needle to thread and got a start in on the frame. Please forgive the horrible photos but it's really hard to get a decent picture without sunlight/daylight. Here's where I ended up:
I also took a close up to show the flower. It is much prettier that shown and I'm really happy with the fabric choice.
The piece uses all WDW threads. I can't wait to continue working on this piece and seeing everyone else's projects. I sent an email to join the SAL being hosted here. It is so wonderful not to have to worry about having homework to do instead of stitching. My house is a bit less than pristine but right now I don't care! I'm going with the stitching mojo.

You're off to a great start. I started mine on Monday night and have a little bit more done - one of the larger flowers. I love the colors in this thing so much. I wish I'd started Ann Sandles now, but that one will be waiting in the wings when I finish up this part.
Oh fun!!!! I love the confederate gray, I am using 40 count for mine :-). I am excited about this project, can't wait to watch yours progress!
Fantastic start. Confederate grey for me too. Ordered all supplies from Anita, and I think it's 35ct.
I'm so loving the colors on yours. Just gorgeous.
I love those colours! Great start!
What a wonderful new start, we've had a lot of dreary rainy days here too and I'm longing for summer!
I started this one over the weekend and am just loving it so far. The colors are fantastic. And now you've got me jonesing for Ann Sandles too.
