Jane Austen challenge

The theme for April's ornament challenge was Jane Austen.

Lorraine took a Prairie Schooler design and made changes to the verse and a few other things. I designed a lady and used a quote from "Emma". Sorry to be late posting, yikes almost July!

Floral Urn

It's always exciting for me to finally get something framed. This is Floral Urn from Sunflower Samplings. I stitched it in 2004 and finally was inspired to frame it. Below is a close up before framing. It is stitched on Prairie Grain fabric.

A well traveled sampler

Here's a sneak peak of the top of a new sampler I'm stitching. It's so big it won't completely fit in the scanner and should be about 16x16 on 40 ct when complete. I started it last month in Georgia, took it with me to Philadelphia and New Jersey, then back home to Tucson, up to Phoenix, down to Mexico and just got back from California. If I'm still stitching it at the end of the month, it might end up in San Francisco, we'll just have to see how fast I am. I'm about 3/4 of the way done with it now. We were in California for our nephew's wedding. Below is my daughter all dressed for the wedding:
And my son acting goofy during the dancing:
Here's the bride and groom, she's wearing the traditional Vietnamese wedding dress which she changed into after the ceremony:
And then changed back to her white gown once more:

Congratulations Nate and Tana, it was a wonderful wedding.
