Tag: Stitch: Sampler

There now, that wasn’t so hard

After looking at it and pondering it for years, I just did it … unstitched what needed to be unstitched, worked within the space I had, ordered a frame, and voila …

There was no room to sign it, so I didn’t. And I was so wrapped up in framing it that I neglected to photograph the back. Oh well.

It’s done and I’m very happy with it.

Happy World Embroidery Day

In a wonderful bit of synchronicity, I recently pulled out this family sampler …

started in 2014 when we only had three grandkids …

I brought it with me on our recent family vacation at Folly Beach, but somehow I was too busy to do anything with it …

All our grandkiddos (except Logan)
From oldest to youngest
Painting with PopPop
Eating … always!
Heading out to a real Low Country Boil
Shark tooth bonanza (yep, that’s a fossil megalodon tooth)
Shining star
One last meal together …
Hook ‘em Horns!

Anyway, I worked on the sampler this past week, trying to figure out how to fit three more grandkids into a much-too-small space …

And it’s almost done … except for the signing and framing (watch this space). However, when I learned today was World Embroidery Day, I just couldn’t wait to show you.

Of course, the painter in the family has already conceived and completed his most recent beach memento …

But hey, I love stretching a project out over nine years 😉
