I couldn't wait to post. Just put the last stitches in. Thank you to Margriet at The Essamplaire for being so generous and sending me the last lesson early. Ta dah! The Richmond Sampler in all her glory!
Sorry for the terrible pictures. It's night-time, what can I say?
I stitched her on 40ct fabric that Margriet substituted for me (the kit comes with 35ct fabric) and the called for AVAS from the kit.
Hope you're all having a wonderful Thanksgiving! We now return you to our regularly scheduled activities......
