Good Afternoon!
I know there are many of you that like "marking
samplers" and I think this is the queen of "marking
samplers". I know Marly of Samplers and Santas Blog
loves them. What do you think Marly?
Faye (who works with me) found
this wonderful sampler and has allowed me
to reproduce it. I don't know whether to thank her
or smack her. This looked like an easy "repro" ~
NOT. It is stitched on a tightly woven, nubby
cotton. Very hard to count, stitched over two but
not counted correctly between letters, just a
nightmare. But it will be so worth it. I've been
working on this for a few months now and this
is all I have gotten stitched. I have tried to stitch a few
letters or motifs every few night, but of course, I cannot
always get to it because all of my other
stitching gets in the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
My question to you is,
"Would you like me to keep you
informed of my progress
every few weeks?"
If so, I plan to keep track of your
comments on the Blog (not Facebook, please, too
hard to keep track of).
The people who comment on each of my blog
posts will be put in a drawing, and you will
receive a copy of this wonderful sampler plus
something else wonderful.
~~~PROGRESS SO FAR~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My newest designs,
"Americans Care About Each Other"
and
"Wicked Fancy Boot"
from my
Halloween Year II
have been shipped to distributors and my AUTOS,
and put in my ETSY Shoppe. Hope you love them.
I think they turned out well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll be back soon with some more great things for your
shopping pleasure. I still have some of my
"CELEBRATE THE USA" Ltd. Ed. kits.
$21.00 ~ this includes the frame and the shipping.
Many Happy Stitches,
Sandra

I like it! The lettering syles are different than the majority of marking samplers so this would certainly be an interesting change.

Its always a pleasure to watch others stitch, i love the neutral colours of this sampler - you didnt mention the fabric count you are using or threads, will this be an exact reproduction, mistakes and all? Amanda
