Since I started this sampler, Charlotte Clayton is the one and only I'm working on. Although there is a bit of muttering coming from the craft room at the back of the house, where I think Frederick is complaining a bit about the lack of attention to his already finished partner Fredericka. But yeah, you know how men are, they always have something to mutter. I rather stay in the lounge with Charlotte and we're having some fun together.
For the rest there is not much new to tell. It's hot on some days, pouring rain on others. We're busy to get everything ready and done by the end of the month because on the 23rd of January we'll take the caravan and hit the ferry for a month of vacation in Tasmania. Really looking forward to that. Tasmania is new to me and I think it will be beautiful. A month of hiking.
Taking with me "Christmas Garden" by Blackbird Designs :) - if I don't change my mind...lol.
Anyway, gotta run. Charlotte is calling, and she can be rather impatient at times. So I better go and play a bit with her.

That is looking stunning. Hiking in Tasmania? For a month? Sounds like a dream. Wow. I can't seem to get away for a week! Have fun. X
Mooie sampler, ik vind de kleuren erg mooi.
Fijne vakantie in Tasmanië en succes met de Christmas garden. Ik ben benieuwd!!
Lieve groetjes, Evelyne
Your sampler looks beautiful Gabi, I can quite see why you don't want to put it down. Enjoy your holiday in Tasmania!
Your vacation plans sound wonderful. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures and stitching....
Isn't she wonderful? I think Charlotte was one of my favorite stitches for sure. Yours is looking gorgeous! Have fun in Tasmania. Lucky you -- a whole month!
Charlotte is looking great! pretty colors.
I t sounds like you are going to have a wonderful vacation.
Oh my goodness, Charlotte is beautiful! Nice progress! I hope you'll take lots of pictures of Tasmania and share them--I'd love to go! My younger daughter & I have joked that we are going to a remote mountain in Tasmania when my older daughter is studying for the NY bar exam, because she will be so fussy. That time is coming up soon... I need to start plotting our escape route. LOL ;)
Charlotte is beautiful! Frederick will just have to learn his place! Your planned trip sounds amazing - I hope you take lots of pictures!
Lovely progress.
Oh Gabi, beautiful, but I can understand Frederick.
Now Tassie will be wonderful, call into Oatlands, really beautiful 'old' town, everyone goes to Ross Village, which is great, but Oatlands is better, in my humble opinion. But all of Tassie was magnificent, at least the parts I saw. Enjoy!!

She is looking gorgeous! Have fun on your holiday!
She's so pretty and I love the colors!!!!
Charlotte is beautiful. Have a wonderful holdiay. Watch out for those devils.
Charlotte is beautiful and well worth the time. You are so smart to get the one-over-one over and done early.
I would ignore the muttering, too, if I were stitching something as beautiful as Charlotte :)
I am so envious of your trip to Tasmania, Gabi--it sounds so exotic (at least to us here in the U.S.). Be sure to take tons of photos to share on your blog!
Charlotte is beautiful and you are making wonderful progress!!! Happy Stitching!

I love Charlotte C..... she's such a beautiful sampler. I can understand why you don't want to leave her for long.
Charlotte is gorgeous! I can see why you only want to work on her. Have a great trip - be safe and bring back lots of pics!
Gorgeous detail on this piece. It will look amazing when its done.
That trip to Tasmania sounds like it will be an awesome adventure. Please post some pics for us when you get back. :)

Beautiful!

Ooo I would love to go to Tassie, the climate is lovely there and not too hot like here in WA.
Enjoy yourself.
Love your stitching progress.
I've not seen Charlotte except for a finished photo so I enjoy watching her progress. You're moving right along!
Very smart for getting all the over one done early!
A month of vacation sounds absolutely wonderful! You're taking just the one project?
Your sampler is stunning--beautiful stitching!! Enjoy your holiday!
Lovely colors and fabric!
Tasmania sounds like it would be a beautiful, exotic trip - enjoy your time there! :)
Charlotte is a truly lovely piece! I can see why you are giving her some extra attention.
Tasmania sounds wonderful right about now. We are getting a freezing rainstorm at the moment. Perfect stitching weather!
Charlotte is a beautiful sampler, as is your stitching. I enjoy seeiing your beautiful stitchery. I also reading your blog updates.
Gabi, Charlotte is simply gorgeous! And I've seen BBD's Christmas Garden... that's a must have. Have fun with both, and I look forward to more progress pix!!!
I'm not suprised you can't put Charlotte down Gabi. She's gorgeous!
Stunning Gabi! No wonder you want to keep stitching this one :o)
Have fun on your vacation! Warmer weather would be nice right about now ;o)
Ohhh, was für ein schöner Sampler. Da kann ich gut verstehen, dass du nur noch daran arbeiten möchtest. Aber das ist ja das Schöne an unserem Hobby - wir sticken nur das, was uns gefällt. Allerdings geht es mir immer wieder so, dass ich alles auf einmal sticken möchte, lol.
Schönen Urlaub auf Tasmanien!
Over one...fun stuff!! Looking great though! Have a wonderful vacation in a place I know I'll never get to!
Oh my, Charlotte is stunning so far! It will be wonderful to follow your progress.
I just read the previous post and became light-headed at your list of WIP's!!! I just allowed myself to have a few things going at once. I am already wanting to start a couple more.
Collectors unite!!!!

I like to stitch over 1, but I do know the feeling when it is finished.
What a lovely project - I can definitely see why she is holding your attention. And what a lovely thought to have a month's holiday. I can't wait to see your progress while you are on holiday.
Beautiful stitching
