Four John Fosters

Last night was our monthly guild stitch-in.  There were four of us present who are participating in the John Foster project.  Bless their hearts, they humored me with a picture! Check out this awesomeness below.

From top left to right:  Mine, PW, LK, and PF on the frame!
 
I got tickled when I noticed we'd all worked ahead into the June installment area without know it. Each of us said we got on a roll doing this month's installment and we just kept going with it.  It's just that kind of project...a joy to stitch!
 
It was so fun to see the four of them side by side!  Our individual color choices really shine now.  In my humble opinion, this is what makes this kind of group project so special and wonderful.  You truly get to see the individual maker in all of them.
 
Each of us chose different floss conversions and made our own fabric choices.  Each one so distinct, yet so much the same.   Thank you for humoring me, dear friends and thanks to Ellen for inspiring us to stitch this project.  I just had to share this bit of wonderful with you all today. 
 
I know this is a shorter than usual post for me.  I'm at that point again with my ongoing projects where progress is being made but not enough to be noticeable in a photo.  I'll keep plugging along.  I'm also doing some exchange stitching right now and can't show that yet.  It's all good.  At least the needle is seeing some action and things are moving forward.
 
Thank you so much for stopping by and admiring my talented buddies' work.  I am truly lucky to have such friendships both in real life and through this blog!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.


Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher

That is so interesting to see how the different fabrics and fibers look on the same chart. What a great job on each one :)

I'm so sorry to have lagged behind on reading your blog (and not just yours...). That's a wonderful picture of the 4 samplers. And your Bestiary is coming along so well, such a gorgeous design.

All four John's are wonderful in their individuality! The same thing happened when my stitching group worked on Sarah Tatum a few years ago. The choices made are such a personal expression...love it!
