The Ann offer

 Greetings!

I've been working on A Little Dutch, certainly not my preferred style, but I was drawn to her from the start.  True, this piece is not a wise choice given my distractions and frustrations right now.  And I'm not in love with this sampler as I am with all of Gigi R works, yet here it is.  No answers.


  The method I chose to sub smyrna for eyelet is working great.  Not tedious, the sewing method can be used, quick, and not one misplaced poke!

A wonderful chart helps tremendously.  I can clearly see the print and the symbol as it sits on my stand and the enlarged legend I made easily shows the color at a glance.  What a difference.

On to Ann Stone.  Keep in mind this is very old, hand drawn, and not the colors of my finish.  If you would like Ann, leave your initials or email in comments or email me directly.  Still haven't found a decent program so I will log into google and get mail there so none are spammed out.  I can do that, right?

Will draw a name Tuesday 1/17 at 8pm.

Have a good day!

Such a beautiful sampler is Ann and how far you already are with your stitching! I do like her a lot.
It's a Dutch sampler or is it Dutch because the name Kramer who came from the Netherlands.
Hope you are allright
Take care, Truus from Holland

So glad the smyrna worked out well for you. Looks as though you are coming along smoothly..the frustration isn't even showing. Hope the coming week sits well with you and that all plans and chores are uneventful and checked off with ease. hope a hope .....

I also would love to have Ann. Thank you - keeping you, and your sister, in my thoughts and prayers.

My friend "lost" her leg and had more people "helping" than she could tolerate - I'm sorry that you are having such a difficult time.

Hugs
