Margret Withrow

 at age 14 in 1809

From Gigi R

 
Some threads a few shades darker
extended border
added leaves

But other than that .....
I was a good girl

Wonderful sampler
 not too large
not too complicated
no over one

very forgiving and adaptive

Such a pretty sampler. You did a super job!! I'm glad you were able to stitch on this while going through all the worries you've had.

Very pretty! I'm glad you had a good time stitching it, all things considered.

Woman, you are amazing. You get more done in one week than I do in one year! I am going to start working "in hand" to see if it is more accomodating than the one of many frames and stands I am now using. I am not nimble anymore and thought that a frame might work but now I am frame fumbling! I am also working on one of your pears again. I have the collection in a sweet little basket in my studio, right above the long-arm frame. It is a happy little collection, thank you. Thoughts and prayers.

Beautifully done and any changes are not even noticeable! I'd never know the difference. You're right. This sampler is forgiving and adaptable. Just my type of cross stitch! You did a wonderful job under adverse circumstances to produce a lovely sampler.
Continuing to send prayers and best wishes for all.

You continue to amaze, Marly. This is such a sweet sampler and colors
soothing to view....how did you ever stitch such "calm" into it while
being so distracted? Hope you have a relaxing weekend. Continued prayers
for Carole and you.

You go girl! Wonderful finish! You have an uncanny knack for making me want to stitch things I probably wouldn't have given a second look to. I love the fabric you stitched on. I forget if you "jimmied" it or even what it was. ~Robin~
