07. Samplermakers Spring Sampler

 


Spring Sampler
Stitched on 28 count Slightly Lilac evenweave from Sparklies

Spring Sampler started back in 2012 when I joined a forum called Samplermakers.

They gave us a selection of motifs to arrange into a sampler. I charted it out and started stitching, got the fence, the plant pot and the right hand tree done and there it stopped.  I just stalled on the left hand mirrored tree.
I picked it up every Longest Day Marathon and worked a little bit on it.  I decided this year that it really needed to be off the list and completed.  Voila!
