I started this back in 1998 and finished it yesterday! It is about 8" by 18" inches. Naturally dyed silk on linen, sampler #701 by Alyce Schroth.
Bonnet stitch sampler.
A quick one this week as I'm off on holiday for 3 weeks! Hope you all have a Happy Easter!
Designed by Lesa Steele. Best downloaded and viewed in Full Size (which is kind of big - sorry). I'm almost finished -there are only a few more bands to go. I decided to take a break (read chickened out) when I got to the hem stitching band, as I've never done those before! The beading is also being done at the end. I subbed the Kreinik with Rainbow Gallery PTB (Gold). Other fibers used: Silk N Colors Halloween Confetti; DMC Perle Ecru #8 + #12. Fabric is Cream Belfast Linen.
Block 4. My center pinwheel point on the blue block didn't match up very well. I can live with it. :)
My very first quilt. Pieced, hand/machine quilted and recently finished by me.

We had dinner at the Padre Brewing Company and tried a sample tray of their five different beers. The stout was a little disappointing, but the wheat ale was divine.
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.

Birth sampler for my amazing nephew who joined us this past year. The pattern is "Watch Over Me" by Karen Kluba -- www.rosewoodxstitch.com/catalog.php?item=149&catid=26... -- with a few modifications (added another border for the great-great-grandparents, used first names instead of initials, made the baby bird purple instead of red or blue, etc.) I picked this pattern because a lot of birth sampler patterns are a little bit too "babyish," and I wanted something that would be appropriate at any age -- and also because I adored the "family tree" idea that would make this not only a commemoration of his birth but a record of his ancestors.
