Yep. This sampler was completed in 1990. I forgot about it, recently found it, worked the design for one of the corner squares, lost the file, found it again, and now it's on a box. It would make a great corner if I can't find decent square boxes.
I love it. At the time, I was using Scarlet Letter's 25 count, and discarded all the charts since no one around here stitched. I may have to locate another and try again on a higher count. And a different color house. Sorry Vickie.
The house reminds me of Merry Wind Farm's Elena Tratman. I think it is also done in a satin stitch but I'm too tired to get up and look for the chart. I think this sampler is one of those that looks spectacular when stitched compared to the photo. I see many charts online and think they're very nice, but when I see someone stitching it, wowzer.
Enjoy the end of summer days.

Very pretty, a nice sampler to find.
Pretty sampler. All your samplers are gorgeous. It's been so hot here in Michigan we haven't been able to enjoy summer. We were down 5.1" of rain since June. All the grass brown no matter where you look. Everyone is inside no kids playing outside, it's just been to darn hot. Finally we got rain here yesterday and today. Praying for a lot more. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Lovely, boh of them
Enjoy the wekend
Beautiful sampler the first one and I would change the color of the house if I made this one.
Enjoy the weekend

Super little sampler, Marly! I agree with you about the 'wow' factor of projects after seeing them stitched or being stitching instead of just looking at the cover photo. Enjoy the rest of your day!
A pink house always, always makes me go WOW. I want to live in an all pink house. Did you know this house we live in now has about one third of it's bricks pale pink? Yep. The couple who built this home, the woman, Lynn, was a pink lover. Our tub and sink ( and our toilet used to be) pink!! Woo hoo! Many of the rooms used to be pink. I will stop now. :D
Really like these samplers. Pink sure does pop a sampler! I will send you some heat and humbidity from NC if you like! But shippage on water would be astronomical.
The lost is found! Hurray! :)
