Hello. It may no longer be Wednesday in some parts of the world, but it is still Wednesday here in chilly Chicago. Autumn has arrived this week.

I have not done much stitching in the past week. I have hardly had the time. But, I did start stitching the background of my little stumpwork embroidery project. This is as far as I got last night:

In other news, I have been starting on a new original design. This one has been in my head to do for a long time. Here’s a peek at some of my sketches for the design:

Yes, it is a medieval-inspired sampler. I have started charting it in my design software, and I’m really happy with the way it’s coming together so far.

Sadly, that is it for me this week. Hope to have more to share soon!
