Deschutes Brewery...did the tourist thing with a visiting friend this weekend. I really liked the visual (and taste) of the beer sampler. The OR 151 was icky, though.
Dated 1697, my mother was looking through a box of old stuff with Grandma (her mother) and this old grungy faded looking embroidery looked interesting to her. Mom asked if anyone had asked for it and grandma said no, Did I want it? Mom actually washed it with mild detergent and much later discovered the date, and then of course, got the word from the Friesmuseum that it was probably authentic. The family came from Witmarsum, Friesland.

I'm new to satin stitching, and I'm pretty proud of this little "e." : ) I made a handful of "template" stitches throughout each section to give me a guide, and then filled in with stitches in between the guidelines. Worked pretty well!

Jelly Roll Quilt Finished! Quilted by Dixie Decker, Wichita, KS with an edge to edge feather design.
Square 3 of 35 (in progress)
I love the way cables look, but they annoy me when I have to knit them. I'm very glad I'm almost done with this square as I feel they've taken entirely too much time and I want to move on. I also screwed up and zagged when I should have zigged...oh well.

I made this ribbon embroidery wedding sampler for my son and daughter-in-law. It was the first time I'd ever done ribbon embroidery. From the date on it, you can see that it is 10 years old.
Sinds 1990 verwerk ik mijn proeven, restanten, schetsen, ideeen in Samplers van 1 x 1 m. Als een persoonlijk archief, niet te koop.
Vandaag mijn 20e Sampler samengesteld, paardenhaar, perkament, zeemleer, egelpennen...
Found this interesting 'sewing definitions' print in a bundle of text prints I'd purchased for a swap last year.
I don't know why I decided to hand quilt it, but it ended up being worth the 40 gazillion hours it took in the end. It measures about 80" by 90" and has a plain burgandy backing.
A big project for the summer, huh? I found needleprint.com and fell in love with all the old samplers. This is a recreation of a Quaker sampler from the late 1700s, and it is a joy to stitch. I love all the bright colors and the rustic nature of the design. This was the project on 7 June 2010.
