My plan after finishing Emma Miles was to work on one of the Scarlet Letter WIPs. Well... that didn't happen. Once I saw Bird in Bough on Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year I knew I had to stitch it for myself ASAP. BiB is stitched on 36 ct. Vintage Pecan Butter by Lakeside Linens with a variety of silks.

| Bird in Bough - The Scarlet Letter |
We survived the major ice storm that hit our area yesterday. Unfortunately the streets, sidewalks and driveways are still a sheet of ice and another storm is heading our way tonight. The poor pups are begining to suffer from cabin fever. Today is the second day of limited outdoor time and no long walk. Let's hope this all passes soon and we can get back to our normal routine.
A dear friend sent me a surprise gift the other day. Isn't it just perfect for Corgi Cottage?

What beautiful samplers! You finished Tanya's A&E so quickly, and it is gorgeous. Love the Bird in Bough sampler, too. Maybe it's a good thing that E&O like to chase squirrels more than birds--or so I hope! ;) Lovely gift, too! I laughed at the corgi saying. Too cute!
Your samplers are beautiful Laurie! I too love samplers with birds in them...which really is no surprise because the birds I feed bring me such joy as well...winks...Love the Corgi saying and my yellow lab Molly sends her sympathies to Emma and Owen...she has been house bound too because of rain. Every time I sit in my stitching chair she looks at me with her big brown eyes...are you sure mom we can't go out for a nice long walk? Gotta love the guilt! Happy Stitching.
These are both beautiful samplers and your stitching is as well. Loved the cute, cute, gift!! Too funny but so appropriate with you being the mama of two gorgeous corgis. Hope your weather improves real soon!
Lovely finish!
I love samplers with birds too!
Very very nice samplers, your stitching is beautiful. Your Corgi's are so cute, must be a great comfort for you.
Simply beautiful pieces!!!! Going through cabin fever here too!
So beautiful samplers.
Liebe Grüße Grit
Wonderful finishes Laurie. Hopefully the pups won't notice the bird wall in your sewing room.
We are having that weather today and it's a mess - schools closed etc. Not good on another storm coming your way.
What a beautiful finish of A&E. It's on my list, too. Bird in the Bough IS quite striking! Keep your needles flying and your feet firmly on the ground :-)
Laurie -- Gorgeous finishes! I especially like the Bird finish. I may have to order that one:) (LOL)
Hope your pups are able to go for a walk soon. We had that storm yesterday but fortunately it's all melted and we're supposed to have a high of 60 tomorrow:)
Have a good week.
Love, love, love your latest finish. You are one quick stitch there !! Tanya does such a beautiful job of designing doesn't she. This A&E piece is a favorite. And who would love Birds in the Bough? I love animals in samplers...be it birds, bees, cats, dogs, sheep, cows....you get the idea. Enjoy the stitching time and I sure hope you and the pups get out soon for a longer walk. Enjoy the week !!
Beautifully stitched sampler. And thank you very much - I'm ordering the Bird.
Such a beautiful sampler, Laurie! I find myself really attracted to the color "red" this year!!! I'm sure Emma and Owen won't mind you decorating their kennel with such beautiful samplers. Hope they get to go on a long walk sooner rather than later.

You have stitched A&E in record time Laurie, it is gorgeous!
The bird in the bough is a stunner too, love them both!
A very nice present and love the regal coaster.
Have a great week with the regals!
Your Bird in Bough is soooooooooo gorgeous! Oh my gosh, I am in love! Love your A&E finish too -- I need to finish mine. Sigh. Glad you are happy with the gift.
Love your new finishes! Both are gorgeous. I lately have a fascination with A&E samplers and the list keeps growing... I will have to add this one too :) Have a great week!
Oh my..I love, love, LOVE that A&E with the red in it! And don't you think that all samplers should have birds? LOL! LOVE them. As always, your stitching is beautiful. We were spared our predicted ice storm yesterday. Sorry about that!
Oh your gift is just great!!
Your stitching is so lovely.
We got a small amount of ice yesterday. It is so warm today, it is melting!! =)
Beautiful finishes especially the A&E sampler
Your gift is very appropriate :)
LOVE the A&E finish Laurie. what nice gifts and so perfect for you. I had never seen that BiB before - I'll have to look that one up. Stay warm and keep those pups close - don't want to lose them in the snow drifts. have a great week Mel
WOWZERS! Your needles are SMOKIN"!!
BiB is stunning, Adam and Eve is gorgeous! Love them both. You are a prolific stitcher and all is beautiful!
Beautiful finishes Laurie! BiB is stunnign! I've never seen it before but it's certainly attention grabbing. Love the corgi sign and oversized strawberry in the photo.
Oh my, gorgeous samplers! I'm ready for Spring too.
Oh, I love both pieces! BIB is in my stash and now...you know, I want to stitch it! It will be nice to see your Bird sampler wall!
I love that Corgi saying - perfect. I hope the weather warms up enough so you guys are go out again!
Great finishes Laurie!!!! Love them both ...... Turbo needles for sure....
Will be mailing you this week..... Yes!
I adore Bird in Bough. So beautiful. Stella isn't liking the cold, wet snowy weather, as well.
Wow what a beautiful finish. The red letters are very lovely! Be safe and stay warm
OOOHHH! what gorgeous finishes. I really love both of these. I like the red alphabets too and that teal green in the A&E sampler.
That bird is gorgeous too. I think birds are my favorite. I stitched Ann Tarbox quite a few years ago. If I get Sarah Harvey finished there are 2 big birds there too.
I hope that you guys get a break in the weather. Stay warm :)
Gorgeous finishes. Love both of them. The bird one caught my heart of course. I love everything with bird.
What a lovely gift. And it suits perfect indeed. :)
what a nice gift and perfect for you!
I adore your red lettering so delicious!!
Your finishes are so pretty, Laurie--I can't wait to see your bird sampler wall. And what a perfect gift for you and your sweet corgis :)
Great finishes, congratulations!
It was awesome to see your Birds in a Bough! They are exactly the sort of piece I would have overlooked on the SL website, but now having seen your pictures,I'm in love!
The Corgi goodies look like great fun.
Your needles have been flying Laurie. Your A & E is an amazing sampler and I adore your colours for Bird in a Bough. I am looking forward to seeing your next project.
Oh Laurie, your A&E is really lovely and I love your new bird sampler. Beautiful gift. - Sandra.
Laurie, love your A&E and the Bird in the Bough is wonderful!!!!!!! Sweet little corgi saying too!!!!
I love this bird piece the style the colors and your beautiful stitching. Congrats on the finish. CJ in OK
Laurie, Tanya's A&E is so pretty! I can't believe it's stitched already!
I always think of you when I see interesting birds on samplers! Your collection growing. This one is very pretty.
What a nice surprise, and it is perfect for the Corgi Cottage.
Laurie another beautiful finish. Always a pleasure to visit your blog. Emma & Owen are precious.
Gorgeous finishes!!! I especially love the bird on Tanya's A&E. And BiB is fantastic. I've never seen this one before - LOVE IT! What sweet gifts you received, that big strawberry is so fun. Can't wait to see your bird sampler wall.
Wonderful, your samplers. And yes, birds on a chart attract me, too, and they are nearly a must for me. This year I want to stitch cardinals and I'm just pulling out patterns that have cardinals.
Beautiful finishes Laurie!! Congrats!!
