Nela’s B-day

My friend Nela is celebrating her b-day with a drawing!!

She is offering this piece in a drawing for the first 100 people that write on her post and choose a number between 1 and 100. The drawing day will be on February 9th.

Don’t miss this opportunity, Nela is famous among us not only because her funny way to write, (her mind goes so much faster than her fingers!!!) but mainly because the gorgeous things that create with her hands!

Happy  B-Day Nela!!!!

Haitian Relief Sampler Project

Dear Fellow Embroiderers :
We have all been following the news and , I am sure , have seen the devastation in Haiti . As with Katrina , and the tsunami , we stitchers band together.

Eileen Bennett has graciously donated the chart for her class piece “Colonial Band Sampler” to Valeri’s guild  to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders . Their facilities have all but been destroyed in the quake ,so they will need everything to help the Haitian people.

If you already have this chart , please consider a donation anyway . Even tho Valeri  has instigated this , it is not a Legacy Guild project and the funds collected will be donated in the name of Embroiderers United (unless we can come up with a better name - she is open to suggestions) , not Legacy . So please pass this info on to your friends , your guilds , LNS’ , blogs , fellow overseas embroiderers etc. Everyone is welcome to take part. Let’s make a difference ! And a huge thank you to Eileen , for making this possible !

If there are any other designers who wish to join in , she would be more than happy to offer a selection .
The verse is fitting - “There is no set path , Follow your heart “, You may donate any amount you wish , but for a minimum donation of $15.00 , Valeri  will send you a PDF of the chart , instructions and color picture. In their past disaster relief projects , they  have found that Paypal is the easiest way and her  account is:

samplar101 @ aol . com ( remove spaces)

Once you make your donation , she will receive an invoice and will send your chart to the email given . Please make sure you let her know if you wish to receive it to another email address. This has happened in the past , someone donates from their office computer , but wishes to receive at their home computer , so she has no problem with that .

Once again , thank you all for your concern and generosity !

My Neighborhood

As I said in a previous post, the girls in the forum and myself will be creating a neighborhood with a few requirements. It must have at least 8 charts, all of them must be freebies. What shape  you do, what theme you  choose, and if you pick more than 8 charts  it is up to you.
Como mencione en un post anterior las nenas en el foro y yo estamos haciendo un vecindario con algunos poco requisitos. Deben tener al menos 8 esquemas distintos  y todos han de ser freebies. que forma lo hagas, que tema escojas o si decides usar mas de 8 esquemas ya es tu gustoy desicion.

You can imagine that with the plethora of wonderful freebies that you can find on the web (a big thank you to all the designers!!!) the hard decision is choosing ONE theme.  I started my first “blueprint” that has Summer as a theme
Como te podras imaginar con la variedad de freebies maravillosos que consigues en la red ( Un gracias gigante a tod@s l@s diseñador@s)  lo dificil de este proyecto es escoger UN tema. Yo comence mi primer plano con Verano como tema principal.

I’m changing the freebie colors so they “fit” on the design,  I’m editing them for the same reason.
Estoy cambiando el color de los esquemas para que “quepan” en el diseño, tambien lo estoy modificando  por la misma razon.

Here is my progress in these first 10 days.
Aqui mi progreso es estos 10 primeros dias

The first design is taken from By the Bay Needleart ( I loooove her designs!!) and you can find the chart posted on March 2009, the second house is a Maryse’s Design, you can find the chart posted here

El primer diseño es de By the Bay Needleart ( adoro sus diseños!!!) y puedes conseguir el esquema publicado en su blog en Marzo 2009. La segunda casa es diseño de Maryse y puedes conseguir el esquema publicado aca

I’m using loose threads from my HDF silks (must of them unlabeled) with two exceptions, for the sand I am using HDF Grasses, and for the sea  I’m using HDF Deep Ocean.
Estoy utilizando restos de hilos de HDF ( la mayoria sin etiqueta) con dos excepciones, el mar que estoy utilizando HDF Deep Ocean y la arena para la que estoy utilizando HDF Grasses

See you in a couple of minutes with a free chart
Nos vemos en un par de minutos con un nuevo freebie

Bride’s Tree SAL - January

Let’s start the new year with the right foot. I’ll try to post every week my SAL’s progress. Today corresponds with the Bride’s Tree SAL.
Tratemos de empezar este año con el pie correcto. Tratare de publicar cada semana los avances de mis SAL’s. Hoy corresponde al SAL del arbol de la novia.

The design is one of my free charts and you can find it here. I stitched on antique white Monaco with HDF Silks.
El diseño es uno de mis freebies  y lo puedes conseguir here. Esta bordado en Monaco blanco antiguo con sedas HDF.

See you soon with more news
