Assisi Peacock Sampler by Giulia Punti Antichi. This is being done on natural Belfast linen, with TG Silk 'n Colors (Royalty, Midnight Cobalt & Summer Tan) & Au Ver A Soie dAlger (Antique Dark Blue). I've left out the drawn work that comes before the lettering until the end. I've wanted to do this project for ages, due to my Italian roots, and my nonna's first name is Giulia. :-)
ETA: Hasn't been touched since 2005! :-(
All of my 365 Challenge Quilt Sampler blocks, all up on my design wall. I still need to make the January 01 Bonus Block, as well as one other block that is dated September 22, for some reason.

This was my first cake (aka a sampler cake) for our Wilton Fondant and Gumpaste class. 6" double layer white cake covered in homemade kahlua buttercream icing, then white homemade kahlua marshamallow fondant. The daises are a mixture of fondant and gum paste with the centers tinted yellow then rolled in cake sparkles. Remaining fondant tinted blue then cut to do ribbon, drape, and handkerchiefs. Ribbon cutter and punch set used for embellishments. Lustre dust painted on after assembly.
Started a couple of new ones - this one has week 6 (chevron stitch) so far. I'm going to use this one for border and linear type stitches. The ribbon ended up a little wiggly -- didn't have the fabric stretched evenly in the hoop, maybe? It looked straight in the hoop but then went strange when the fabric relaxed. (Excruciatingly bad photo - the fabric is a light tan, not white. Not sure what happened there.)

This is the "house and alphabet sampler" from the Historical Sampler Company. It came as a kit (Christmas pressie!) and is worked on 16 count aida.
Pattern from Inside Crochet magazine.
This active WIP has turned into an hibernating one due to poorly written instructions, mistakes and typo.
Might come back to it at a later date when other pressing projects are completed.
