Sampler Sunday

Just a quick post today--we've been working ourselves to death in the yard, planting, weeding, edging, now that it's finally warm and sunny. For a change, this week I got a bit more done on a project--Procession:
Here's a sampler I picked up last week at my Alexandria LNS, In Stitches. It's called The Plantation Sampler, by Canterbury Designs, by Donna Vermillion Giampa (and it has a 1987 copyright on it). This is a little different style for her, I think. I'm working on her Glorious Fruit design, and of course, I love the fruit pillows. I particularly like the stone work appearance of the plantation house.

    You've done a lot of stitching! Wow!
    The Plantation Sampler is very nice...I would say that it IS a big deviation from what you usually does! :)

  8. Cross stitch used to be my middle name. Then I got carpal tunnel and decided my walls were full anyway. This is really a cute sampler!

  10. I just adore that sampler! I especially love the ones with alphabets on them. I have two which my great grandmother made years and years ago - still haven't had them properly framed, but I plan to do so soon.

    Yes, of course you may put my card on your blog! =) Have a wonderful afternoon!
