The Strawberry Patch

Stunned and appalled at the events of the day. Grateful for my stitching which allows me to reflect and contemplate.

I had planned to start a new project on January 1, but my WIP pile was calling my name. I started this small sampler last year (three times - you know me and my ongoing journey to find the “right” piece of linen). Now, it’s almost finished. I just need to add personalization. Will wait until the weekend to chart it out. I’ll be able to celebrate a finish soon.


It’s a pretty little sampler, don’t you think? It’s called The Strawberry Patch from Homespun Samplar. I think that the final linen selected was 40ct Legacy from Picture This Plus and it is stitched using GAST fibers. Sorry for the wrinkles.

I think another WIP is calling my name...

You did well choosing a fabric, it looks superb! Thinking of you and all my US friends at this time.

Your sampler is beautiful! I joined that WIPCO on FB, but honestly...haven't followed one rule! I started a smaller sampler because sometimes you just need a break from a large project! Have a nice week!

I love that sampler but it is in my pile of maybe I will never finish. Right now I can't remember my problem with it but it had something to do with color. I think I decided to choose my own floss colors and they got away from me! I might drag it out again and see how I feel about it.

Beautiful sampler. Can't wait to see how you do the personalization.
