Annie Magnolia aka Anne Pennsylvania Peacock is off to the framers. I put the finishing stitches in her this morning. I'm going with the paper face (all the white part of the paper will be removed).
There were challenges, especially stitching the J in her name. I got pretty bored stitching the border. There are so many things I love about this sampler--her name, the proportions, the wonkiness of the border.
Time to choose a new project: a WIP/PhD project, a quilt, a houswife, a new sampler?
Nicely done! Wonderful sampler.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your version and can't wait to see it framed.
ReplyDeleteps - Would you mind sharing your conversion? I've had this in my "must stitch" pile for so long and yours is my favorite version I've seen. You knocked it out of the park with your color selection. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA lovely finish. It will be remarkable when it's framed.
ReplyDeleteBetty, You are so much braver than I am. I love how your sampler looks regardless of how chicken I am to consider doing it myself. We definitely need people like you in the world. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Annie Magnolia finish! She turned out fabulous. Look forward to seeing what type of frame you pick out for her.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sampler!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finishing. Beautiful needlework. I am very curious what the next project will be. Happy Stitching Alice Margaux.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! I also enjoyed your last post with all the lovely things to drool over.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty sampler!
