Present to celebrate the 25th wedding anniversary of friends Clare and Ray.
This piece was originally designed and kitted by Barbara Rakosnik The changes I made relate to the date, text and bottom band.
Here is the sampler after being washed and dried.
The warp and tabby are natural 8/2 cotton
The sampler is about 14" long, and 5 1/4" wide
Wefts are (from left to right):
1) Grey blue 'crinkly' rayon - The irregularity of the 'crinkle' yarn made the pattern irregular and turned some of the diamonds into more of a blob. Will be pretty in some other project, but this wasn't the one for it.
2) Dark brown 8/2 rayon - Pattern came out too 'sketchy'. One strand isn't thick enough for pattern weft.
3) Navy blue chenille - See that skinny little row of dark blobs? The chenille was quickly an obvious wrong choice for this. I figured it most likely would be, but since there was some leftover on a bobbin already, tried it out of curiosity.
4) Turquoise 8/2 cotton - The pattern looked nice on this one, but came out too stiff for a scarf. Would be nice for something like a table runner and such though.
5) Dark Green 4/2 cotton - Looked ok, though I like the 8/2 better. Much too stiff for scarves.
6) Dark brown 8/2 rayon, double stranded. The rayon gave it a nice drape. Doubling it up made it thick enough to be a pattern weft, and loose the 'sketchy' look from the first try. This was chosen for the first scarf.
7) Variegated 4/2 cotton - The variegated color was interesting to play with, but the 4/2 is just a bit too thick for this. Very stiff, like the green.
8) Same yarn as #7 with a Tromp-As-Writ treadling, instead of the As-Drawn-In being used for the others.
9) White 8/2 cotton - You can't really see it, but I tried a few shots of white on the natural to see what effect it gave. Might be neat, but it was more work to keep track of than I wanted to do right now.

Finally getting tired of working with scraps, I decided I wanted to start a sampler. I looked through the books I own, and then decided, why follow someone else's pattern? I'll just do my own! I have enough reference books.

This is a birth sampler pattern I stitched as a wedding sampler. "Heirloom Birth Sampler" from The Victoria Sampler, designed by Thea--an amazing designer! I stitched this band sampler on linen using a variety of stitch techniques in colors to match Val's wedding selection..
Materials included pearl cottons, silks, metallic threads, silk ribbon, and seed beads. Stitching included silk embroidery (leaves and roses), eyelets, hardanger, back stitching, an assortment of pulled stitches with and without cutting.
Long term new project that I am looking forward to start.

This quilt pattern is Jacob's Ladder. I made this quilt sampler picture for my second cousin. Clyde and I went and hung it on her corn crib over the weekend. I chose this pattern for her because her Grandfather's name was Jake. I thought that this was the perfect place to hang the picture for I love this old crib and check out the old boat and wooden wagon with the metal wheel under the crib.
