No way Hannah Way

I went through my small sampler charts, looking for one that wouldn't frustrate or discourage me.  This little gem was chosen.
R&R Reproductions.  This is one of the earliest dated samplers (1749) in the Valentine Museum, Richmond, VA, done by a very young child.  Cute little thing.    
Until I read further..
 I hate the Queen.









And further yet........
This child will certainly test my patience.  Seven step cross?  At her age?  Are you kidding me?  Sorry Hannah Way...no way.  Not now.  Back to the stash......I wish I had more donuts.  (See my other blog.)







After a chocolate break.........

That didn't take long.  Goode Huswife's Pennsylvania Beehive Sampler.  My sewing box is ready to go. 

Except for the linen.  Uh-oh...

                           
 
This is the left side of a 10" deep 5' wide 
drawer.

Here's the center......
And this is the right side.  Too bad the majority have no color labels.

LOL about Hannah. I remember doing the over one (which I abhor--but am learning to only dislike it now rather than absolutely hate it) on Hannah Pepper, and the whole time I thought about the sampler maker. I decided I wouldn't be bested by a little kid, that I WOULD finish the repro of her sampler! I still love the simplicity of the wondrous X, though.
