I guess like I always say - it's the journey that counts! Your son Chris is a cutie and your mom is adorable too. Glad to see a photo of them both. Sounds like this sampler invokes some strong memories of times shared with your DS, isn't that the best about stitching. Your personalization is lovely and of course the piece is stunning! Can't wait to see your frame choice and congrats on finishing!

Four years doesn't seem such a long time to me but I am not a one project at a time stitcher, so my projects always take a long time to be finished, lol. These HRH projects are a bit time consuming but a lot of fun to stitch.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946103414362414928.post-13690167159199846522016-10-02T21:12:38.991-04:002016-10-02T21:12:38.991-04:00Congratulations Jackie - this Sampler is AMAZING a...Congratulations Jackie - this Sampler is AMAZING and so very Special!<br />I'm sure your son will treasure this Gorgeous piece!<br />Love the beautiful picture you shared of your Mom & Son.Aunt 'Reenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08204447436613555757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946103414362414928.post-77829536816027364912016-10-02T21:01:51.133-04:002016-10-02T21:01:51.133-04:00Jackie, your sampler is beautiful.

For the long straight stitches, it helps to start each stitch at the bottom of the sails, eanding each stitch at the top. Take a few stitches at the base of your first stitch to secure it. So, all the stitches are going to end at the same point in top, vs starting at top and stitching downward. That's what works for me.
