Well, I Shouldn't Have

 But I did. I started the North Carolina Sampler by Heart's Ease Exampler Works.

60 pages of beautiful charts . I am using 37 count Russian Tea Cake and Vikki Clayton silks 

Not much of a start, but that's okay.

Another Band Done

 This band on the Phoenix Band Sampler by Northern Expressions Needlework took 5 stitching days. This piece is gorgeous and I want to start the next band...

Lots of Color

 Poppers is fun to stitch. Part of me thinks I should have done the original colorway. The other part of me is saying - just keep playing!

March 2026 Gifted Gorgeousness

 Well, I was more than surprised to receive this package in the mail from the previous president of the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild:

A beautiful engraved needle box, a needle minder and a pin. I'm currently serving as workshop chair for the guild but didn't expect anything for serving. What a wonderful gift!
