Stitched with called for DMC on 25 ct over-dyed evenweave. Quick and fun - I already have plans on stitching it again on 40 ct linen and make it into an Easter-egg ornament!</div>

I called and asked whether there were any left-over kits and I ended up being very lucky - I got 2 kits that were "faulty"; the pre-finished pockets had been sewn up with the wrong count linen. I was told that the linen would likely still allow for the entire design to fit, but I do have to admit that I was a tad nervous. As can be seen, it all worked out in the end!<br />
Some minor changes: My mother's initials, both maiden and married initials, were stitched on the left side and mine stitched in the same manner on the right side. I skipped the "LH 1818" part all together. I was contemplating adding this year, but 2011 is too hard to balance evenly over a design, I think.<br />

The owner retired and she had a sale to get rid of her inventory.<br />
After trying to figure out what to fill the frame with, I realized that the tiny CHS pieces would be perfect. I had so much fun stitching on this project and I was lucky to be able to fit all five designs in, with a little bit extra space at the bottom for personalization. I designed the border design on the sides to make the finished piece fit better.<br />
<br />
I love how it turned out and the clock now proudly hangs in my bedroom. Unfortunately, the mechanism seems to eat batteries, so it doesn't actually show time. lol....<br />

Sorry that I don't have any better photo of it.<br />
If (or rather when) I stitch this sampler again, I am definitely picking a much more colorful linen!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

We were engaged for 4 years, so it is definitely a period of time in our life together worth celebrating with a sampler (any excuse to stitch, lol!). The text is embroidered over-one in Swedish.<br />
<br />
I don't think that the dark red linen was my original idea - I tend to be a bit scared of bold colors... It is one of very few finished stitching projects that it actually displayed on the walls of our home. I mounted it in a cheap shadow-box from Michael's and it looks pretty great that way. I will try to add a picture of the finished piece as soon as I take a photo that does not look downrigth ugly... ;-)<br />

I stitched this sampler with a dark-blue overdyed silk on a yellow hand-dyed linen.

I have admired the posts on this board for a long time now - you are all doing fabulous work!<br />
I thought that maybe I could share a few photos with you. I do love GH, Barrick and CHS, but I stitch a lot of other designers as well and I have a very mixed taste in needlework designs.<br />
Here is "My ABC Tree" from The Goode Huswife:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">But, since I finished 97% of it in 2010, I stitched 2010 as the date on this piece. I loved working with the bright colors on the dark linen. When I started it, I thought "Oh Dear" I am going to have to give this a coffee/tea bath when I am done because it was so bright. But the further I stitched on it the more I loved the fact that it screamed "bright and beautiful"!</div>JOLENEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15359912336548269261noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605767964151296579.post-74206812262736967112011-01-02T13:33:00.001+01:002011-01-02T13:34:00.635+01:00Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow.
