A Sarah Wodham Finish

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!

  4. 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
