I love red!
Here's a bit of progress on Isabella Brackin 1832. When I first saw this design online, I thought it must have some shade of red in it. At least, that's how it looked on the chart photo. If you scroll down to my last post, you can see it. The colors look deeper, don't they? I love red. That's one reason why we have two Boston Terriers named Ruby and Scarlett. Well, as you can see, it isn't red at all. More of a dark pink. I'm really surprised that the chart photos of my last project, and now this one are so inaccurate. Obviously, you can see the colors when you pull the threads, but who does that before you are ready to begin stitching? I'm loving this sampler, nonetheless. I even have half of the border done, and it was fairly painless. I'm off to do a little painting. I hope to have some needle cases and rulers to show soon.

Very beautiful. I'll be back to see it in progress.
Thank you for visiting my blog!!...I thoroughly enjoy yours...I just came across it recently and then you visited mine...I will definitely be checking back to see what you are working on!!!...hugs,Jen
It is pretty--and a painless border? No way! And in the photos, the color looks...red.
Great progress on your sampler. The deep pink/rusty colour looks lovely, but I agree the chart picture does look redder, maybe they 'photoshopped' it.
You are right - it does look like red! But it is still lovely! I can't wait to watch your progress!
I recently received a blog award and I want to pass it on to you. Visit my blog and pick it up.
Hugs, Daniela

I love red too.My favourite DMC shade is 3777.I could stitch everything in that colour.
Lovely work as always!
That's why I love seeing stitched up models...and one of the drawbacks to online shopping. But it is lovely...exquisite.
