Sew Noel in Gigi's Christmas colors

I fell in love with this silk on the HDF Forum and when it became available....well let's just say I just had to have some.  The sampler is from Carol of IStitch and can be found here.   While you are visiting her chart selection, make sure you see her new one ....Sew Gigi.  It is stitched in this same silk.  Carol and I have decided that great minds think alike.  :o)  I've decided to make this one into a pillow to go along with the SAL pillow I made a few weeks ago.   I really don't have room for Christmas pictures and pillows are easy to store away when the season is over.  I will share a picture when I'm finished with it.
I really don't know what to work on next.  I'm thinking about starting a TIAG sampler but I just can't make up my mind on which one.  Whichever one I choose, it will be stitched on 18ct.  natural linen over 1 thread using silks....of course.
Everyone have a very stitchie weekend!
Blessings as always,
Barbara

This is so pretty, Barbara. Thanks for the link to Carol. Can you tell me what HDF forum stands for that you reference in your post? I've looked all through your blog and I can't find anything. Thanks!

Sorry, Barbara I asked before I searched on Google. I found it,
the Hand Dyed Fibers forum and
threads for sale. Awesome!
