Gentle Friends, so I wrapped up and put in the last stitches on Miss Sarah last night. She has been a really fun stitch ... even the over one verse - a bit tedious - but well worth it in the end!! Here's a snap...
Sarah Woodham 1770 - from Shakespeare's Peddler
1/13/20 - 4/12/20
Overdyed Cotton Conversion - 40 ct LL Buttercream
The only changes I made were to work on some of the spacing in the verse, and the chain stitching for the two large girl's hair. I chain stitched the one on the left and didn't like it much so I frogged it out and then restitched it over one and like it much better.
I think I'll pull out a WIP and stitch on that tonight so I'll try and post that next week...
Thanks for stopping by do stop again!!
Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

ReplyDeleteNice finish, not sure I could have done all that over one

Hope you guys aren't stir crazy or have cabin fever!

Fabulous work. I am impressed by the one over one work, I did an alphabet on my last sampler that way and found it to be very challenging indeed. x
