1797 Ship Sampler....

First....I just want to let you know that the
Alison Krauss concert was wonderful.

I am happy to show you another

Crazy Challenge finish...

Barrick Samplers "1797 Ship Sampler"

40ct khaki linen w/ DMC

I have had this sampler in my stash for a

very long time...too long so I am glad it is done!

I searched online to see if I could find some

other finishes but found none.  

Just curious if anyone else stitched this one????

I always use DMC when stitching a Kathy Barrick

design and am amazed at the "funky" colors once

they're assembled. I have realized, though, that

they always come together to create

the perfect color palette.

Love the ship and fish

This one definitely looks so much better stitched.

Just need to save my pennies for framing...

This is finish number five in my

Crazy Challenge. 

I think that calls for celebration and I will

do so by starting something new.

Linda was sweet to offer me A Colonial Garden 

from Plum Street Samplers after her recent

finish.   I fell in love after seeing Linda's

finish so I think this one will be next up

on the q-snaps.

I have been so lazy about leaving comments lately

but please know I have been seeing all of your

wonderful stitching.  I do appreciate you visiting

my little corner of the world.   

happy stitching...

I have a love/hate relationship

with this Challenge.  

I love it because I am finally stitching

some wonderful designs that have been

languishing in my stash for years.

I hate it because I have seen the

wonderful designs y'all have started and

I want to stitch many of them now!

Anyone else having this problem????

I am off to get ready for Downton Abbey tonight. 

I don't want to miss a minute so I need to

get situated in my stitchy chair.

As always...thanks for visiting.

Happy stitching!
