Much Better Than The First Time.

 On Prudence - Plum Street Samplers.  A restart on this was clearly what I needed.  To me this almost looks square, but the stitch count is 303 wide by 263 high.  The math said it would be 10.82 x 9.39 inches.  Rough measuring of the stitching says it IS about that.  I honestly could be WAY off somewhere and not have a clue yet.  I'm ready to toss it back into the pile, and pull something different again. 

Additional -  I did put this away, and I grabbed something else.  I was looking for the previous photo I had of it, and had trouble finding it.  But while going photo by photo, there was another different photo of On Prudence with that bowl vase and more up the bottom right side border.  So now I'm not sure if I have another start of On Prudence floating around somewhere???  I'm now guessing this might be my 3rd version?  I'm clueless.  

Restart

 

Restart on Plum Street Samplers - On Prudence.  Restarted on Dove Gray 28 count jobelan, one over one.  Originally started on 28 count Navy Bean linen, not sure if it was vintage or just Navy Bean, but the called for fabric in a count I was comfortable with, and my LNS had.  Above is after just one night of stitching and I already have more completed.  Today I picked out the stitching from the original start, and can continue with my restarted version. 

Filling In

Kinda weird to work on this one when it's not a favorite or pretty even.  But sometimes something just is easy to grab and make progress on.  My goal was to finish lines, fill in.   And I got it completed from the numbers line down to the bottom, except the date and initials.  Worked on the border, and other rows are filling in.  But it feels like it's time to switch again.  Below is where it was when I picked it back up again.

July section done

Crap photos, but a quick update.  I started this one a while back.  I love the colors, and I'm just using the dmc and 25 count lugana black, one over one.  But I had a few of the called for silks, and even though I'm not close to finished, I decided I want to stitch it a second time.  So I ordered the remaining needed silks, and another cut of the same fabric.  I'm gonna finish both eventually.  But I'd love to do this again with silks rather than any new pattern I have seen lately.  I have only added a few threads, then set it to the side when the next monthly section came out for... I will try to take a photo of the silks beside the dmc so you can compare too.

Finished the July section.  I was looking for the pattern from last year to complete it, and I can't find it.  Went thru my started stuff twice, never saw it.  But it did make me remember, I have so much started I don't need more.  I'm sure it's there, I am somehow overlooking it.
