Need Your Input on Marking Sampler

Hi Again!

2nd post in one afternoon, what in the

world could that mean?

Well, what it means is I don't know what

to do and I need your input~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is my progress on the

"Marking Sampler "

reproduction.

So many of you have been asking

about its progress and I'm sorry

I've neglected to post some

pictures.

Well, believe it or not, I am almost

finished, with the exception of

the simple, dreaded border

situation.  As you can see

in the picture of the original,

the stitcher obviously meant to

fill in a lot more area with more

wonderful somethings.

Well, she didn't, so my question

to you is do you want me to graph

it with the entire area bordered in.

My thinking right now is that I

am not going to stitch the

sampler leaving the space blank.

I will just stitch that border 

that is at the bottom under the last

stitched line.  Once again, though

you may disagree with me

and I want to know what do you think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note that the last line of short

letters was not completed, so I

am going to add my initials,

date, and a repeat of some of

the unique motifs that were 

used in the sampler.  Some of

you, I know are more of a 

purist and will probably leave

it blank.  I have pondered this

dilemma too, and I'm leaning

on stitching my name.  Of course,

that could change, who knows.

At my age I seem to have

a problem with making a 

decision.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I love this sampler and it has

been a long time coming, I know.

Hope it was worth the wait.

Of course, I still have to graph it

and print it.  Any volunteers on

the graphing?  HaHa  It is the least

favorite part of the designing 

process.

Here goes~

My progress~

Showing the unfinished area and the space left 

for possible personalizing~

Please let me know what you think.  I

will be waiting to hear from you.

"Many Happy Sampler Stitches",
