Jane Rees WIP
Hey everybody! I wanted to sneak in here before we say goodbye to January and show you my progress on Jane Rees. I'm working on the first of the four sided stitch alphabets.
The four sided stitch is tedious but easy. I find I get into such a rhythm with it that I have to keep checking what I've stitched so that I don't add extra squares to each letter. The picture below, taken earlier in the week in better lighting, is a clearer representation of the color of the linen (36 count Sugared Coffee by Sassy's Fabrics) and thread (Belle Soie Sister Scarlet).

I love those alphabets Siobhan, it is looking great. February tomorrow - the days go quicker the older I get!
But the nights are drawing out - at last - so hopefully Spring cannot be too far away - hurray! x
Beautiful, Siobhan! I have Jane as a WIP/UFO...I plan to get back to her soon!
Keep up the beautiful work!
Happy Stitches,

Pretty, Siobhan!! It will be done before you know and will look beauitful on your wall.
Looking gorgeous! Love that red!
This is really beautiful and your fabric is the perfect color too! You are really making such wonderful progress!! I love this!
It looks great Siobhan. I really like the fabric that you're using too.
Great progress.
Sugared coffee sounds as scrumptious as it looks and really shows your chosen thread well. Your stitching always looks wonderful.
Perfect sampler for you.....but, I cannot believe you are using those Sister Scarlett BS youve been hoarding~~~ Love the progress..... Faye
Hi Siobhan! Your Jane looks great! Love all the alphabets! Love the red silk against the Sugared Coffee fabric!
I do love your ABC's, a lot of stitching! Somehow I have given up on them for know but seeing these my hands begin to itch a little ;)
Siobhan love your JR anything red is perfect. I always thought sugared coffee was the perfect fabric with red
Great fabric, great chart, beautiful stitching.
Beautiful, just love those alphabets!
Hugs,
So glad to see your Jane here Siobhan. I have a local guild friend who has Jane almost finished and it is stunning. I sold mine to another guild friend who was inspired by her beauty. YGG - she is wonderful and I love your linen and silk choice. Hugs Mel
I can't wait until I get down to the 4-sided alphabet, but I have a ways to go. Love your linen and floss color combination.
Your sampler is comming along nicely! Don't you just love it when you fall into a rhythm .... It always makes time go by so fast.
