Progress on my sampler in blue

Just before I left for England I had managed to start a few stitches on my version of Gail Pan's 'Sampler in Blue' pattern. I decided on this bluey-teal skein of Stef Francis silk thread to stitch it with.

Since I have been back I have managed to stitch a little more.  This is the progress I have made to date.  I am really happy with how it is looking so far, the variegated thread is beautiful to work with. I hope that this week I'll have time to get some more finished off.... we'll see!
