In color and minor placements. Should have studied the chart, I didn't see the lack of symmetry in the top section.
I moved the left outline one row closer, center floral one to left, will add extra row to right side outline. The rest will be easy to adjust.
I wonder how long I will hear her pleas for help before closing my eyes at night and opening them every morning. I guess never, and will have to learn to move away from those days. So far, happy memories haven't replaced them. They will. In time.
My local JoAnn closed and Michael's will move in by summer, very small store. They were here once and failed. Since then Hobby Lobby opened so I don't see their reasoning. Thankfully, Kohl's will be staying. TJMaxx is the only other clothing store now. I miss our stores and mall.
Another hour and season premier of Expedition Bigfoot will be on. Yep. I watch it!
Stay safe folks.

Marly, as usual your color choices are perfect. It’s such a pretty little sampler and you’re making it better! I hope there are happier days ahead for you. Stay warm! Cherie in WI
Oh, and I very much miss the malls and stores, too! I’m especially missing Christopher Banks, even though they’ve been gone for years! Cherie
Such pretty colors in the new piece you are stitching.
Our local Michaels is usually deserted and I am surprised they are still open, but happy they are. My go to place when I need a supply, which isn't often.
My Kohls (5 minutes away) is remaining open and they are building a TJ Maxx across the street. Long ago there was a TJM in town, but I never shopped there. Oh...I am just not a shopper. Antiquer yes. Shopper no. Big difference...lol!
Prayers that happy memories can soon replace the not-so-happy ones.
What?! I missed the premier of the new season of Expedition Bigfoot??? Well dang...I'll have to make sure to catch it next week and start recording the new season. Yeah, I watch it too. I never thought I'd be a true believer...but that show has changed my mind. Your color change-outs are perfectly gorgeous. I didn't notice the asymmetry until you pointed it out...and it would have required me to adjust as well. A little Marly is wearing off on me. We still have a JoAnns, a Michaels, a Hobby Lobby, a TJ Maxx and a Kohl's... all within 2 blocks of each other in the town "near" Nod. Michaels is always dead...and mostly looks like a wasteland. But like Lauren, I'm not a big shopper...at least anymore. Some memories haunt a lifetime it seems...perhaps that's why God grants us the grace of forgetfulness in our later years. ~Robin~
Your piece is looking good, Marly. You had me at bowl of fruit. I guess I should check out the Joann's and see what is happening there. Thinking of you.
Bummer that your Joann closed already. Good that Michaels is moving in, hopefully it works out for them this time. Why try again with HL close by? My guess is they are hoping there are enough Joann customers in the area that refuse to go to HL.
So sorry about what you hear when you go to sleep. I hope something happier, or at least less stressful, replaces it soon.
Oh Crud!!! That was a new show last night?! Poo - I had it on, but was busy with yanking articles out of a notebook, not paying much attention to the TV and thought it was a re-run :-/
I'm still mourning the loss of our Pat Catan's, Marly! It was so handy for me--right up the hill on my way to Target and Sam's Club. Now that JoAnn's is in bankruptcy again, I'm wondering if ours will be closing as well. Your new sampler is looking so beautiful--I'm right there with you on adjusting for symmetry :) I hope you find peace at some point, Marly. That must be so, so difficult having Carole's words echoing in your ears at night time. Thinking of you! ♥
Marly you did for Carole all that you could do and more. Her cry for help that you still can hear, is because you were not able to help her and deep in your heart you know that. Give it the time and don't feel quilty please. ...time will heal your sorrow and happy memories will come in your mind for sure....
Always admire your changes in colors in the samplers that you are stitching.....they are gorgeous.
Take care of yourself, Truus from Holland
Hi Marly: Nice changes, I understand about making changes with some designs.
I love Big Foot Expedition.
Memories are something no one can take away from you, just think of all the good times and silly times you had together.
