My mom found an old sampler I stitched for her. I kept asking her where it was and that I didn't care what she did with, but could I please just have it back. Thankfully she found it and it was not damaged!
It's Brightneedle's Sonnenberg. I plan to frame it again and probably keep it for myself. I don't think it's her taste, which is why it was hidden away. And that's fine because I like it even if she doesn't. :)
Well, I'm in the middle of doing mountains of laundry, so I'd better go! Write later! :)
Oh, I am happy she found the sampler and you are going to frame it and keep it-I just love it!
ReplyDeleteDaisy Sampler looks wonderful, Nicole!! Congratulations on another beautiful finish :)
Great finish
ReplyDeleteOh I just love the Sampler that you made for your mom! I am so glad that you have it!! It is just beautiful. If she is just going to hide it, I am glad you got it back to be shown as it is lovely and looks like Spring!! Your Daisy Sampler is really pretty as well!! Don't feel bad about your mom as my mom did the same thing with one I did for her. She put it up near the ceiling or just up in the closet when she would get mad at me. It was a Paula Vaughn design. This one that you made is too pretty to be hid away somewhere!! Debby :)
ReplyDeleteThe daisy sampler is lovely. Congrats. I love the sampler you did for your Mom. I can't believe she doesn't really care for it-it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou stitch so fast! It's amazing. And I really like that sampler you stitched up for your mother! It needs to be out somewhere for others to admire.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has also 'hidden away' a couple of the gifts I've made for her over the years. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove the BN piece and I'm glad it's finally going to see the light of day. Your CCN piece came together SO fast - and it's lovely!!
Both samplers are so sweet! Now that I've seen your Daisy Sampler, I think it has become a 'must-do' for me too. It's simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. Daisy Sampler is a must do. Its gorgeous. Love the BN that you did for your Mom and sorry that she didn't like it. My mom hangs things I make that she doesn't like, in the bathroom. Ick. Any thoughts on how you might frame it? Have a great weekend, and just stitch between laundry loads, thats what I do.
ReplyDeleteI love your work!
ReplyDeleteYes you DO stitch fast!

Great finish on Daisy, Nicole! It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame your sampler was hidden away. Glad you've got it back and you can do it justice now.
I'm almost finished with Sonnenberg! I just put it down for a moment to check out some websites! How ironic! I find it beautiful also. I would love to see it once you have it framed!
ReplyDeleteDaisy Sampler and Sonnenberg, 2 of my favourites, your 2 look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful works!
ReplyDeleteDaisy Sampler is gorgeous, congratulations. The Brightneedle one is far to nice to be hidden away
ReplyDeleteThe daisy sampler is lovely - and I like the older sampler too!
ReplyDeleteDaisy Sampler is lovely. I'm glad that te other sampler is not going to sit in a cupboard anymore. It should be out on display. Looking forward to seeing it framed.
ReplyDeleteYour Daisy Sampler is darling.
ReplyDeleteThe piece you stitched for your Mom is sweet, too. Glad you have it back. Enjoy it!
Daisy sampler is really sweet - I love it.
ReplyDeleteGlad your rescued BN from your mom - I can't understand why she would hide it away - it's lovely
I'm glad that your mom found your sampler. Yes, you should definitely have it framed.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing "Daisy Sampler" - it's lovely.
Congrats on the Daisy finish. I love your Brightneedle Sampler - glad you got it back and can reframe it! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces look wonderful. It will be neat to see your Brightneedle sampler framed.
