Block 4. My center pinwheel point on the blue block didn't match up very well. I can live with it. :)

Made at the rope walk at Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, this was displayed at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. I liked this because it reminded me of the rope samplers done by Tubbs Cordage, which are in the museum collection of San Francisco Maritime NHP. museum.nps.gov/ParkObjdet.aspx?rID=SAFR%20%20%2019264%26d...
Poor photo, I know; the lights were reflecting badly on this piece. This was in the NPS visitor center.
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.

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.
My two favorite things that other people have made for me. The shawl my mom made, the sampler my grandma made
Loved the textures produced by the stitching.
I do apologise to the creators- I didn't buy a catalog and so don't know who to credit. Please add a comment if you know who made this.
