40 ct. Light Examplar by Lakeside Linens with DMC Threads (1 over 2).
My six year old, Jake, and I went to The Charleston Museum today. I only live about 15 miles from Charleston, but most of the time it seems a world away. I don't get out enough! Anyway, I decided to get out today and there was a bonus to the trip! The museum store sells reproduction sampler patterns! :) This is what I got...
Sarah Ann Wilcox chart and a book about Charleston Samplers. The original of the sampler pattern I got is on the cover of the book. When I got home I also had some mail waiting for me. I fell in love with these two samplers after seeing them in Tanya's (The Scarlett House) album.
Of Female Worth "ES Spot Sampler" and "Harriet Eliza Saxton Sampler"
Well, today is "HoHRH" day. I already started stitching it a little - the 36 seems so big after working on 40 ct. all week! :) Well, not much else - Write soon!
Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is all looking lovely, little bits revealed each day on the rotations. I love what you bought at the Museum. Do you know if they can be purchased online?
I have been Tanya's site too and really liked the the samplers she has stitched (and is stitching). I have my eye on the ES Spot Motif. *sigh* I figure if I can't at least stitch as much/as fast, at least I can have favourites to dream about!
Only you could turn a trip to the Museum into a stash purchase. :) Looks like your sampler wall will be filled with plenty of finishes in the future.
ReplyDeleteWMN is looking terrific. I love this design.
Love the colors in this one! The rotations are fun to follow. I would never be able to stick to it, good for you!
ReplyDeleteYour rotation seems to b working out well. Your progress pic is great. Your new stash looks wonderful. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole. OOOHHH, I love those two new samplers. I might have to track them down. BTW, why did you change my name to Tracy? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful stitching. Great finds at the museum. Looks like you are well on your way to having a sampler wall of your own.
ReplyDeleteThe colours in With my Needle are so scrummy. This is one on my list for this year so hope I can get time to stitch it. Great progress.
