Hornbook Bestiary...more progress!

Last weekend I went on a stitching retreat with some dear special friends.  You can read more about it here.  The uninterrupted stitching time afforded me another block finish!  Let's have a look.




I've now finished "M is for Mermaid!"  I started the mermaid's out line on the 12th.  I started the fill just after lunch last Saturday and completed the block around 11:00 pm.  I was determined to get this block finished before bedtime.

Here she is up close.  This is one of the blocks that drew me to this sampler.  I just love her!  I think that may be a book in her hand.  Maybe Marsha will tell me for sure in the comments.

Now there's only one more block in this row left to stitch. It's a very special block. It's the "N is for Nightingale" block.  I like to think of it as Nicola's block. After all, she is the reason I'm stitching this sampler. If it weren't for her Scarlet Letter Year, I wouldn't have even gone looking in Marsha's catalog!  So this next block is dedicated to Nicola! I hope you enjoy seeing it when I'm done, my friend.

Thanks for letting me share another mini-finish! More to come...hopefully soon! Have a great weekend.

Until next time,
