Stop the presses!!!!

Ok, I know I just posted last night, but this calls for another blog post.  I'm feeling more or less normal today, just a bit weird from the effects of the vertigo.  But I'm feeling well enough to stitch again.  And guess what?

Ta da!!!!!

His Eye is on the Sparrow by Heartstring Samplery
40ct Doubloon linen by Picture this Plus
using the called for WDW and GAST fibers
started mid-September, 2014
finished December 22, 2014


Yup!!!  It's done!  Finis!

I am happy.  :D

ETA: someone asked what size the linen has to be with 40ct.  I bought a stitcher's half and it worked great.

  9. Oh my goodness, Margaret! I love this sampler and admire all the work you did put into it! Whew! Lovely!

    I have also experienced vertigo and it is horrible. I am glad you found some technique. You could also try Bonin from the drug store. It is motion sickness medication and worked for me per my Dr's instruction. Over the counter so no need for prescription.

    Merry Christmas! What will be your New Year sampler start?
