It's in the Box...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

Some of you may remember the 
antique reproduction sampler I was working
on, Lydia Barnes Pidgeon 1827...

This is the work box where this 
project has been stashed away for
way too long now!


Everything is just as I left it...patiently
waiting for my return!


This sampler is being stitched on 
WDW 40ct. Tin Roof with AVAS silk thread.


This sampler has not only one or two borders,
but THREE...I remember how happy it felt
completing the first border!


And even happier completing the second!


I was on a roll...with the third 
border finished and ready to add 
the little flower buds!


It was so much fun working on the 
wonderful motifs that fill this 
beautiful old sampler!


This was probably the last progress 
photo I shared back in 2016,
before my work schedule got so busy
I had to put it on hold!


However, I did make a great 
deal of progress since that last photo,
I'm currently working on stitching
the verse and a few motifs that
still need to be finished!


So, hopefully in between club kits
and other new releases, I'll be 
able to share the finished model
and finally get this pattern 
released!

Please stay tuned...it's just a matter of time!
