Sampler Border. Needs washed and framed. Teb years old :)
These are really samples of borders. Instead of using the borders for parts of other cross stitch, I stitched the whole page! There are three pages of this book I did.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.
Here is the perforated paper sampler that I add a row to each week. I will work on my other sampler on fabric during the week.

This has been framed for five months...here is a picture of the sampler framed. I think the matting and frame was perfect for it. It is my first attempt at designing an embroidered sampler.
One of my collection of samplers.
This one is modern but based on traditional designs. It is dated 2000. I found it on Kettering market in 2009.
I missed my Busia's cooking so much, I couldn't decide from one thing to the next what to get. So in the end I settled for a bit of everything I like :) Bigos (hunter's stew), Golobki (stuffed cabbage), Placki (a potato pancake), Sausage with Kapusta (sauerkraut), and three Pierogi (one with meat paste filling, one with potato and cheese, one with mushroom and sauerkraut).

We stopped at a brew pub and restaurant on the way back from DC and ordered the beer sampler, which consists of 7 small glasses, each with a different type of beer. Sadly, most of them weren't that good.
A runic sampler combining traditional English needlework and ancient north European symbolism.
I made this sampler as a gift for my husband on our second anniversary.
Another favorite thing - a goofy cross stitch sampler I did after I moved in and found myself looking at a random picture I'd tossed on the wall during the move and wondering what would go better.
I figured I could come up with something less likely to put people off their dinner than "The Temptation of St. Anthony" by Salvador Dali. I decided to do a cross stitch sampler, because my parents have a (perfectly normal) cross stitch sampler done by Grandma Florence who still remembered where every single error was 75 years later.. (There are so many in mine, I can't keep track.)
(I need to retake this picture so there's no glare and it enlarges cleaner and the winerack isn't obscuring the pumpkin.)
Sampler worked by my husband's grandmother in 1886. Her name was Mary Martha Leadbetter, and she was aged 9 in 1886.
She was in standard 4 at Scarisbrick Township School, Scarisbrick ( Lancashire)
My first pull for the Penny Sampler. I've already removed some of the prints and ordered a few more that hopefully will work!
More thoughts on my inspiration and process here.
Block 8 in the We can do it! Skill Builder sampler. Came out a bit wonky, but I'm pretty happy with it :)
Finished! I had a hard time taking nice photos of it, but these will do. Maybe when the weather finally dries out, I'll try a few outside.
