I finished the stitching last night and put the buttons and charms on today. I'm so happy to have it finished!
Shepherd's Bush "Family Sampler" Kit
Fabric: Changed Kit Fabric to 32 ct. Vintage Luna by Lakeside Linens
Threads: AVAS, Gloriana, and Thread Gatherer Silks (all as kitted)
Started: 5/08 - Finished: 1/16/09 I found a few errors in the pattern... the inside flowers in the border on the left side were charted for the wrong color and there was flower missing on the right side. I fixed them all to match the others. Well, I'd better get some sleep - I have to get up early tomorrow because I'm going to
Amy's for a relaxing day of stitching! :) Write later!
Gorgeous finish Nicole! Thanks for the tips on the errors, seeing yours makes me want to start mine :-).
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fun day stitching with Amy!
Beautiful finish! Congrats! I just may have to get that kit. And I don't appreciate you enabling me with all your beautiful stitching, lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece. Enjoy your day stitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish! It's a lovely design and you were so fast finishing it. Will you start something new at the stitch-in at Amy's?
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous! I love Shepherd's Bush too, but I don't have this one yet. Seeing yours makes me want to stitch this. :)
ReplyDeleteIts gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Nicole, congratulations
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo pretty, Nicole!! I hadn't realized that you swapped out the linen--your choice really is perfect--warms up the sampler very nicely. Thanks for the tips on the corrections!
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous, Nicole! It turned out beautifully. Wonderful finish!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love this kit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Nicole on a beautiful finish. I was surprised by the errors in the chart. I was having a real struggle with the cream thread for those special stitches! Hopefully today will be better.
ReplyDeleteSo, "Sail Away" next?
It turned out beautiful nicole. I wish I would have had a chance to make it to Amy's while I was living in Columbia.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, it's gorgeous!! The colours are beautiful and so is your stitching :)
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous finish. I love the colours in this piece.
ReplyDeleteNicole, I have been waiting for a while for you to get interested in samplers and family heirlooms. I have a feeling that very soon your projects are going to get larger and more complicated. That wall full of samplers you once posted.....I think a wall like that would really be something in your home. I love framed pieces where everyone can admire the skill of the stitcher. Here is a link to a designer you might not know but that I love. http://www.designsfrompamela.com/
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
