How could I forget my favorite needlecase and little basket top? Little by Little's Quaker Blackbird chart snippets. The linen was too short to complete the entire design and ended up a padded book with felt pages for my needles. This time when I looked back at the post, it started with the horrific mutilation story of what I saw on FB that caused me months of sleeplessness. Today, I saw another of suffering dogs in a pesticide laboratory and I won't be sleeping for a while again.
Hinzeit Floral Boarder Sampler (yes it is spelled that way on the chart). Fits perfectly in the 5 x 7 sliding photo box at craft stores. I love that it can stand.
Scarlet Letter's Lydia Hinckley. Barrick Samplers 1848 Reproduction Sampler abbreviated version on Charcoal Belfast.
Scarlet Letter's ABCD 1817 Miniature Sampler done over two threads. Merry Wind Farm's Ellen Ford. Needle Work Press Martha Hards on Copper Penny with red thread. I wish I would have used the called for blue on lighter fabric.
Pineberry Lane's Rebecca Hall done on a darker linen with many color changes because of it. And R&R's Hannah Way, abbreviated.
Not samplers, but noteworthy smalls. Carriage House Samplings Pennsylvania Redware and Spot the Horse (abbreviated) lined pouch. Old photo, I have no idea where it is.
Most of these are hung on the iron hooks we installed on the interior doors, cupboard knobs, and door knobs. This group averages no larger than 6" x 6" with the exception of the Hinzeit box. Tomorrow will be a little larger. As will I.
I'm not sure what's going on but when I looked back at older posts, even going back to draft for editing, the photos are just black boxes or little Xs.

Marly, I love looking at your revisit posts of stitching. What wonderful pieces you have stitched! That Hinzeit sampler is fabulous. Thank you for sharing! If you used photobucket for some of your pictures and then deleted them, that could be the reason behind the missing photos or box with the x.
What a trip down memory lane-- for all of us. I can remember your postings of some of these in progress. they all look terrific, and all are accomplishments worthy of your pride in them :-)
I am not on FB, but I saw lab animals firsthand in the lab when I was 19. I was in college studying to be a certified veterinary technician, which I became. We had a field trip to one of the big labs here in Madison, Wisconsin. I attended school in Madison. It was horrid Marly. The dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice , CHIMPANZEES! Lab Animal Science was not my calling.
What a lovely bunch of small designs!! I hate the commercials that show suffering animals. They run them especially at Christmas. They are so disturbing. We had a real sicko here last summer who did nasty things to cats. Of course, the news had to tell all the horrible details! Very upsetting!!
What a prolific and gifted stitchress you are!!!! I was drooling over each and every photo wondering how I could choose a favorite if I were to choose.....and then I saw Spot the Horse...Oh. My. HECK! I love that to absolute pieces for some reason.... If you can maybe sometime (no need for any immediate action) let ne know what pattern/designer that is, I would like to think about putting it on ny stitching dance card..... r
Always love seeing your beautiful stitches. You've been such an inspiration to me for quite a few years. Have never stitched anything as intricate as yours, but love looking just the same.
I, too, hate to see the commercials about abused animals. Can't imagine what goes on in the test laboratories. I think that is why some folks pets go missing... So sad.
Have a good day and thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

How beautiful are the samplers and stitches you have made!
Love them all!
Have a great day

Such beautiful stitching Marly. If you hate the abuse and can manage it, donate to PETA. I make one monthly and feel that is the biggest bang for my money towards ending the useless torture of lab animals at universities, military, and drug manufacturing facilities. As for locals who abuse animals, I always think their punishment should be whatever they perpetrated on their victims.
I wish I had seen your Rebecca Hall before I started stitching mine. I like yours so much better!
