Let's Stick to the 1840's

 Gentle Friends, I finished up Miss Sarah Barker 1840 here's an old snaperooo of how she looks...

"Sarah Barker 1840"  from Needlework Press
4/1 - 6/7/24
37ct Cloudburst by Sotema Linen
My Overdyed Floss Conversion:

CC Thunderclouds -to – GA Toasted Barley

GA Moss – to – GA Deep Forest

GA Terra Cotta – to – CC Little Brown House

GA Baked Clay – to – CC Wild Berries

CC Camouflage – to – GA Dried Thyme

CC Perfect Piecrust – to – GA Melon Patch

CC Blackbird – to – CC Black Coffee

CC Queen Bee – to – No Change

CC Eggshell – to – GA Adobe

Although I hit some bumps along the way with a missing section of the chart and a couple of miscounts with the inevitable frogging... I really enjoyed this stitch - and - it felt very Hallowe'en with the pale orange, sagey-green, gold, and black.  Stitching a piece that is a bit wonky and doesn't line up evenly on each side was also fun.

My new stitch will be a piece I found in the old stash pile, Ann Kirby 1845.   I've made the smallest of starts, and here's a snap...

  1. Looks great, love the colors. Just a little question - on the right side, under the 3 flowers on the top, is the center of the 3 leaves suppose to be filled in as it is on the left side?

    1. Thanks so much for pointing out the missing fill... I think it's a flower bud, but its only 8 stitches and I missed them. :) I'll go back and get them stitched in...

  5. Congrats on another wonderful sampler finish. I love that border. Not Halloween to me, but local craft shop is full of pumpkins and it's not even 4th of July!!
