Still stitching (and listening to Donovan). As you know from past posts about this remarkable spring, everywhere I go I find something pretty to inspire design ideas and stitch plans. This new sampler came about after one of those village walks.
An overload of spring flowers to admire around here. I used to grow columbine in my Chicago garden. Candytufts and bridal veil (spirea) too. Hurray for May!
Once I get a little farther into the new sampler, I'll post it in the shop.
It has a little story that I'll share then too.






Oh that's looking so sweet... I will be stalking your blog! Loving all the pretty petals you are taking photos of! What a beautiful spring we are having...

laughing---- when your blog title came up in my reader I immediately said "Donovan"! Stitch on!

Donovan and I were born in the same year - although he is 6 months older than I am (just wanted to get that straight)... and he has more lines than I have!

Your garden is fantastic. Our flowers are just starting to come out her.
Where did that sampler come from? It's adorable!

Donovan! I've been feeling the need to get some Donovan too! Adore Season of the Witch, Universal Soldier, Wear your love like heaven - I'm so glad I got to see him in concert a couple times when I was a teenager, several lifetimes ago. ;) Oh and I want to get The Band too since Levon Helm passed away. We grew up with some really great music, didn't we?!
Can't wait to see your finished banner and your new sampler.
Happy stitching!

Hooray! Hurry!
I am buzzing along on my "I bring you love" sampler and will need another one soon as it appears to be the season of the stitch for me as well!!
