I have said many times how I love anything with an alphabet on it! Well, when an online friend shared a blog I had never seen before and this SAL started, I tried to tell myself I did not need to start this new project. My focus this year was to be my Ohio samplers afterall...
But I could not resist and started this only in January so most participating were already on part two. I set a goal to try and totally catch up by the end of February so I would be ready for part four as it came out. I am happy to say that I have completed parts one and two so I can start on part three this weekend. I should have my goal completed in time. I have not rushed this and tried to really enjoy each stitch.
Those letters are beautiful but I also love the look of this little block with the lace edge. I am stitching this sampler 1 over 1 on 28-count linen. The total width of the sampler is 6-1/2 inches which gives it such a dainty look. If you want to stitch this beautiful sampler just check out Gazette94.

Heidi this is beautiful. Your colors are beautiful and really set the letters off. What colors are you using? I also have this printed out, but have not started it yet. I want to get the Mystery Sampler done and I am making some progress on it. I find I would rather stitch smaller items first!
Hugs,

You are so talented! I like the connection you made between slow food and slow sewing:)
I love this piece, Heidi. It is such pretty colors. Really beautiful. 'It is after 9PM and we have been gone all day and evening. I missed talking to you on Skype today.
Love you, Mom
Oh my goodness Heidi that is going to be stunning when your done - it's so beautiful right now. It's hard isn't it when were tempted to start something new. I just started a little cross stitch gardeners pocket and I haven't picked up cross stitch in a long time - I'm thinking I'm going to enjoy it :). I'm glad to hear that you taking it easy - and listening to your body and enjoying your projects. Once I move - I'm taking on that goal myself - this past year has taught me that slowing down is what I need also right now. The blocks are going out on Monday - WOO HOO I picked up the last set today.

Lovely, Heidi. I too would like to know what colours you're using.
Your sampler looks wonderful and I love the colors you used! I am downloading the patterns for this sampler and it is highly on my wishlist!
Ha,daar ben ik ook mee bezig Heid!Alleen heb ik nog maar het eerste deel klaar....;-))Wat is je kleurencombinatie mooi!
Slow? That is a word I think you cannot find in your dictionary!!! It is a very beautiful ABC sampler and I hope your will finish it and not start another one in the coming months LOL. Last week I found an ABC in my patterncollection and can better not show it to you.
See you soon. Hugs en groetjes

Heidi, this sampler looks so beautiful already. And so very special as stitched over one. And you are right, the little block with the flower baskets is adorable.
I wish you luck for your way of de-stressing.
Oh gosh, Heidi, that is just so gorgeous!!
I love your color choices and the over 1 stitching. Lovely work, Heidi.
Your work is lovely. I really like the colors you have chosen for your sampler.
That is exquisite, Heidi. Longing to see it as you go on.
