Salem Remembered. Rememer? Finished and framed in record time. Sigh.
The Second Angel Sampler by Kathy Barrick-Dieter. Me likey.
These two pieces are not enough to start my Memento Mori wall (as I think I will call it henceforth. I mean, it sounds better than 'my Halloween-slash-Angel-slash-Tombstone wall'), so I hung them in different places, for now. At the rate I'm going through my WIP pile, though, there won't be any additions to my Memento Mori wall in the near future, since there's no Halloween/Angel/Tombstone piece in my WIP pile. You saw four of the WIPs in progress (that's Works In Progress in progress, I know, but that is exactly what I mean. If you saw the contents of my WIP drawer, you would understand, believe me) in my previous post. Here's one I've been working on off and on for quite some time without telling a living soul about it, because I was afraid I'd strand after the first six colours and everyone would keep hounding me about my progress (think big-ass Prairie Schooler Christmas Project sort of thing):
It's a DMC colour card. When Barbara got out her professional, ready made DMC colour card last week, I suddenly remembered my less flashy but equally useful, hand made exemplary and decided to spend some time with it. I did, and I enjoyed it. In fact, I'm going to enjoy it some more right now. Right after I've posted this pic of my feline foe's friend's current favourite hiding place.
Yours progressingly,
Annemarie.

Ooh! How ambitious your DMC project is!! From the order of pics in this post, Pantoef looks like he's marveling at it! (I can never recall the order of those last two vowels in his name--I live in terror of reversing them and giving mortal offense each time I comment upon him!)
Your framed finishes are just perfect, but of course you didn't need me to tell you that!
What is it with cats and books? My kitties love to get into the stitchy cabinet that is filled with stacked magazines and books and rumage through it like it were some sort of cat-nip pile!
The finishes are wonderful. My tombstone and Frederick have come to a stand-still while Life throws me another curve. This one of much more significance then the previous. Our Sammy has been missing since 7 October.
Fabulous framing! Memento Mori is a much better name for your wall in progress.
I know what you mean about WIPs. When I see all of mine together, it kind of scares me.
Your framed samplers are gorgeous - both your stitching and your frame choices! Me likey both! Have fun with your stitched DMC card. The picture of your little feline friend is adorable.
I love your framed pieces and I like your naming of Memento Mori wall. I can see a few pieces that can add to it based on some recent - Market releases from Lisa and Anne.
I love the photo of Panteof - actually the side view makes him look like a tabby (oops don't tell him that!). I've caught Daisy snuggling in my in-tray by my bookshelf - she likes to find snug places to hide too.
Gorgeous! And I love the name of your new wall :-).
Oh my! The frames are so perfect. They both look wonderful!
Love the DMC project. That will be so handy when you've got it finished.
Annemarie, what a lovely post! Love the photo of your kitty friend!! lol
That is going to be an interesting sampler, your dmc color card, how unique! And I love the framed pieces, they are magnificent!!
Your framed pieces have turned out beautifully!
My cats sleep in all kinds of crazy places, too. At the moment, one of them is sleeping in an empty basket that I use for recyclables.....
Your framed pieces are gorgeous.
Pantoef looks so adorable in your bookcase. Who is his favorite author?(LOL)
Your framed pieces are simply stunning! And so is your DMC colours card - you've done most if not all of the backstitched numbers, that must be the boring part surely.
Oh, Pantoef is a wicked boy! LOL!
Your framing is STUNNING. AGAIN. I'm jealous, but in a really happy-for-you sort of way. ;)
I'm glad my DMC color card came already made. LOL! Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble!
Gorgeous framing Annemarie, they are both perfect.
Ok, seriously, you stitched those freaking things up and got them framed faster than me getting to your blog - wow!!!! I love love love your Memento Mori wall idea - I think I need one too. Beautiful!!
Wow!! Both framed pieces are beautiful Annemarie! Congrats on finishing and FRAMING (something I need to learn to do) two great designs! :)
Oh how lovely your pieces work framed Annemarie. They must look wonderful hanging on the walls. Why does Pantoef look so innocent when we know well he's not lol.
Pantoef is too cute--I got a laugh from that photo.
Your framed pieces are AMAZING. Fabulous!!! You must be thrilled with them. I love the moulding on Salem Remembered.
I like the colour card. Won't be hounding you, 'cos with me, it would be the WIP of my lifetime...
Annemarie i tuoi ricami incorniciati sono splendidi!
Il secondo sopratutto mi ha fatto ricordare un sampler della CHS - Sarah Hook 1824...chiuso in qualche cassetto......
Un abbraccio e a presto
Nadia
I try to translate
Annemarie your framed embroideries are wonderful!
The second has made me remember a sampler of the CHS - Sarah Hook 1824... closed in a drawer......
Hugs and see you soon
Nadia :)
