I started stitching this on December 29. My two Partners in Crime (PICs) and I bought the kits from Rovaris after seeing a Facebook post from her. The kit came with a beautiful spool, the buttons and the ribbon, the linen, and the pattern. When finished, the sampler will be attached to the spool with the ribbons.
Once I started stitching, I could not put this down. I’ve been working on it almost exclusively for the past week (after finishing Early Christmas Morning.) I’m not quite finished, I still need to stitch the border. Then I will wait for my two PICs to finish their stitching and we’ll fully finish them together.
Savio E - I believe this is an Italian sampler.
I did substitute my own linen - 36ct Vintage Light Examplar with DMC threads.
Wow. Beautiful! Different with the stitching between letters and colorful unfettered motifs. Looks so graceful but yet loose. I'm not very good at explaining what I see!
