These items will be for sale at the end of this week. I didn't realize that many of you get email updates rather than checking blogs and they are delivered late at night after the sale has begun. So I will post the sale date the day before, rather than the same day.
This sampler was displayed around a large box and the margins were folded to the back about a 1/2" from the stitching. That left a crease in the linen which would be hidden by matting or a frame. Not noticeable but of course it is to me. There is also an unexplained darker line in the right edge margin. ???? No idea.
From Elizabeth's Garden, Lydia C. Durgin. This chart was gifted to me by Frances and I in turn passed it on to another. She deserves a nice frame which I don't do, black would be perfect. This was 30 count SL linen that I dyed. The stitched area is 6" x 11" with a 1-3/4" to 2" margin for mounting. Black and taupe thread.
The ponies. Ah. The ponies. Two Horses design by The Primitive Needle, 4-1/4" x 8-1/4"
Homespun Elegance design, Simply Red stitched on 35 count Tin Roof in my color choices, 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".
The lined linen pouch with heart. Closed it is 6-1/2" x 3-1/2".
More photos and prices will be posted for the sale.

I cannot begin to imagine how many completed cross stitch pieces you have. I'd have a hard time letting them go :)
Hi Marly,
