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...

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?
ReplyDeleteThanks 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...
DeleteYour Sarah Barker is beautiful and you did a wonderful job on the missing section. Very very pretty!
ReplyDeleteTres gorgeous. Love the fall vibe. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteWell done on your Sarah finish, Edgar! She is stunning. You are off to a good start on the new sampler.
ReplyDeleteCongrats 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!!
