This is lovely to watch unfold. Your stitching is very neat & I love the colour. Sorry you had to undo some but it will be great when finished.

Darned maybe it is time for a frog let fry up? A lovely update though, this design is just so elegant and beautiful.
Me thinks it is time I went back to bed = I was trying to get the ? mark to work and was holding down the caps lock instead of "shift"
The 3am wake up yesterday morning to g et the family on the road to the airport at the right time is catching up with me - again

Great progress, wonderful colours, and I'm so glad you are using silk!
Re: Wedding Sampler - Weekend 4 update 1/24/16
Would you believe that I used the wrong thread (really, Carole? There are only THREE colors to pick from. Dark, medium and light! How hard can it be to decipher one of three symbols? ) so had to . Actually it wasn't too bad and I managed to save the thread which is good because I hate wasting silk thread. And I do love stitching with the silk. If I win the lottery (if I played the lottery) I might only stitch with silk. Anyway, a blurry close up of what I did this week-end:
And what I have done so far
The lighter color is Hydrangea and the variegated shading is very subtle, which I love.
My nephew is visiting next week-end and my niece and boyfriend (who live about 100 miles from me) will drive down for a day so no work on this one next week-end. Which works since I think one week-end a month will have to be spent on Mabel's SAL. I think I have decided on the colors. Maybe.
Thanks for looking.

It is looking really amazing Carole and the colours blend in so well together. I agree that stitching with silk is so lovely. A great update in spite of the hiccup

Re: Wedding Sampler - Weekend 5 update 1/18/16
Got some done this week-end! Couldn't last week-end because my nephew visited and though I knew he wouldn't say anything to his sister, didn't want to give him a chance to mistakenly say anything.
The variegation in the two lighter threads is very subtle but if you enlarge the photo you can see it. I love stitching with these threads. I know I'm repeating myself, but I just can't help it.
Back to "O Kitten Tree". Trying to get another page finished before I post it. It was harder to get a lot done over the holidays than I thought it would be.
Thanks for looking!
