I hope you're having a great summer. It's been hot here with a LOT of rain. No water shortage here for sure. Fall still feels like a long way off but I'm ready for it to cool down drastically.
I've been absent from the blog but I have been stitching! I finished up Heritage Sampler from Plum Street Samplings. I fell in love with this when I saw Paulette's video that explained what each quadrant meant and shared insights into her design process. I really enjoyed stitching this and learned that when the designer suggests half crosses on certain over 1 sections that it a good idea to NOT decide to do full cross!

This looks so lovely. Must get mine out to start. :) All kitted up ready to stitch but have other stitching to finish first. Happy Stitching.
Congrats on your finish.
It's gorgeous!
Have a great week.

I love this piece so much! Congratulations on a beautiful finish! I don't know how, but I missed this one entirely until I saw you and maybe one other person stitching it. I didn't even realize that it was by Paulette. Guess I've lost touch with the stitching world. Ugh. Anyway, love the finish!
Jackie, you have been busy! This is a gorgeous stitch and I just love the border on this with the eagle at the top. I can see why this kept you so occupied, it must have been very rewarding to complete each section. It will be interesting to hear about her thought process in designing this, thanks for the link to the video.
Gorgeous! I just love everything about it!!
Jackie, congratulations on your sampler finish. It is stunning.
It's beautiful!! It feels so good to get a project finished, doesn't it?
Oh Jackie, this is such a gorgeous piece. I love all the details, particularly the ship with its passengers - or are they sailors?
Jackie...your Heritage Sampler is gorgeous....I love Plum Street Samplers and wish Paulette could make more videos! Thank you for sharing your work.
I just love this sampler you did for the SAL Jackie! It's just so neat. Can't wait to see how you frame it. Hope you had a good 3 day

Such a pretty finish, Jackie! I'm going to find some time to watch Paulette's video - sounds very interesting. 🙂
Jackie this is such a gorgeous sampler. I love everything about it. You did such a wonderful job stitching it. Plum Street Sampler is one of my favorite designers too. Looking forward to seeing it framed. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
Oh, how beautiful!! I bet it felt like each little block was a mini-finish. They are all so beautiful and that border is exceptional.
Hope the rain is letting up this week as my sister and her husband are in Daytona Beach checking on their condo (they purchased my parents' old place). Happy September, Jackie!
Oooo, look at that finish! It’s wonderful, Jackie! Congratulations!
Gorgeous sampler! Looks like such fun with all the different motifs and colors. I always like ones with little people!
Congratulations on the finish, it's a beauty.
I hate to know how many hours it took you to make that....totally love it.
