Hi folks. Hoping Staples will print these three charts for me today. I didn't see the copyright symbol (or I missed it) so we'll see if that is the reason the others won't print. Maybe one will be the next project!
Ohhhh Lizzie. Your chubby threads are calling me. GT flower thread? Wool? I haven't read through the chart and hope to study them all this evening. I am old school and for some reason, scrolling doesn't allow info to sink in deep enough. A real help in viewing the chart though! The texture in these antiques is very appealing to me.
I'm sure the stores will be packed today and I will be adding to the chaos. The dinner for Carole's family and grands was planned to be prepared by them and as usual, well..... let's just say I need to come up with a simple meal for eight. Because of limited time and old lady fatigue, most sides will be cold and purchased, and something shredded or sauced will be put on a bun IF there are any left!! Easy peasy.
Wishing you a Happy Easter.
Enjoy the holiday weekend, whatever you believe.

Hi Marly, Good luck at Staples. All three are pretty samplers but I would lean towards Lizzie, too. Short Maud turned out perfect and I’m sure the finish will be as well. Your dinner plan sounds good! I’ve been under the weather all week, but will carry on with my meal plan. No hugs and kisses for my grandsons though and that’s going to be a bummer! Happy Easter to you and your family. I hope you find time to relax and stitch! Cherie in WI
Hi Marly: I hope you are able to print them, the three Samplers are beautiful, you have a gift for choosing the perfect sampler to stitch.
Have a wonderful meal, it sounds like a fun meal with lots of goodies.
I need to get the ribs out ribs not ham tomorrow.
I have old lady syndrome almost everyday due to the crappy weather we have, still over a foot of snow in all the yards in our neighborhood.
I hope Carole is doing better anb adjusting to having people with her daily, it is a good thing.

Love Short Maud, Marly! And as far as the next three samplers you are hoping to get printed…. My favorite is the top one! Oh the colors in that one just grabbed me! Hope you have good luck at Staples and I look forward to watching your progress on whatever sampler you choose to do first!
Happy Easter!
Sometimes, you just gotta let grown-ass adults sink or swim.
Does your library do printing/photocopying? Mine does, they have services of print from home, print from a phone or other device, print from email... Five cents a page, color or black and white.
Or maybe a UPS store. The one here by me is run by young kids-- very helpful with tech-type printing set-ups, but don't have a damn to give about copyright. Gotta love Zoomers!
All three of these are intriguing - and ambitious. But, yeah, my favorite is Lizzi. If Staples doesn't pan out, remember my offer stands. Good luck with the Easter dinner. Ham on buns is where I'd be at this point. Then, again, that always seems to be a treat for me...but gotta have the right kind of buns. (It's all about the buns you know....) ~Robin~
Oh what wonderful charts! It is hard to choose a favorite.
Why would anyone else cook when they know you will come to the rescue? St. Marly for sure!!!
1812 North Sample House popped out at me... Anonymous' comments about the
Zoomers says it all...lol.... I cannot believe you are pulling Easter rescue duty for Carole's family...they have the same hours in a day as you, and you are never idle ...stuff and nonsense. Sorry - I'll get off my soapbox - harumph....
A blessed Eastertide to you and Mark.
Lizzie is a sweet gem, I may have to stitch that myself. Would peanut butter and jelly sandwiches be OK for a quick Easter dinner? Oh, and a bag of jelly beans for dessert. Happy Easter!
Liefie is my favorite and than Jane. Hope they can be printed for you without problems.
Wondering why you have to make Easter dinner for Carole's family-- don't they cook on the other days? You are too kind Marly!!!
Take a rest with Mark and enjoy the Easter days together....
Happy Easter to you and Mark, Truus from Holland
Wishing you and Mark a happy, blessed, enjoyable, relaxed Easter Sunday.

You got some lovely patterns. I wonder - can you ask Staples for certain pages to be printed as a test? Like a page halfway through the pattern? That way you wouldn't be stuck paying for things that don't print.
As to Easter - what Anonymous & Heritage Hall said. I'll say no more. Other than you are far nicer than I'd be. Easy for me to say though - my sister lived 10 hours away. I hope you have a good Easter.
You may want to try a UPS store or FedX. I've gotten cross stitch patterns enlarged at both with no copyright issues.
Happy Easter.....I go to a blueprint shop to enlarge charts.....yes, I do like to enlarge them.....love your samplers....
