Spring Ahead Means I Lose an Hour of Stitching Today


Elizabeth Sheffield 1784 - The Scarlet Letter


I've never been a fan of Daylight Savings Time.  Losing an hour of sleep in the spring can't be good for my sleep rhythm.  And this morning I realized that I'd lose an hour of stitching today!

The photo above shows my progress on Elizabeth Sheffield, a sampler from The Scarlet Letter.  I also participate to a worldwide blog of women who are stitching SL samplers, and I posted my progress there this morning.  

I just love working on Elizabeth.  Her brilliant colors and charming figures make me HAPPY to look at her.  Her original must have been stitched by a girl who really enjoyed making it.

My progress is slow, however.  There are vast amounts of over-one stitching, and that takes me a long time to do.  But I think she is coming along beautifully, don't you?
