A Gentleman's Samplings

Just a quick post to show you two recent finishes. The first is Frances Pool 1832 by With Thy Needle and Thread.   Frances Pool 1832 by With Thy Needle and Thread/Country Stitches Worked on 36-ct R&R Linen using recommended Gentle Arts and Weeks Dye Works threads. The second one is a gift for a friend who lost there son in October 2011. Adam was a big fan of Bob Dylan's poetry and music.  So when I saw this small sampler I knew right away that I needed to stitch it in memory of Adam. So here are a couple of pictures before I take it to the framer. Stars & Diamonds by Heartstring Samplery Worked on 40-ct Lakeside Lentil using recommended Gentle Arts Sampler Threads Happy Stitchin... Robert

I put the final stitches in A Flamestitch Sampler by Scarlet Letter last night.  This one was a very fun stitch.  I really like how the bottom section turned out even if it does look a little bottom heavy. Worked on 40-ct Lakeside Pear using the recommended DMC Now to get back to work on AEDEGNES Sampler of 1746 also by Scarlet Letter. Happy Stitching....Robert
