My Scottish Sampler. I am stitching a sampler to commemorate my Scottish ancestors who immigrated to America. Both of my parents surnames are Scottish. My father’s side were Quakers so I’ve added half Quaker medallions as the bottom border. The basic structure is based on the top half of North Carolina Sampler by Theresa Baird. ( photo 2) The left side ocean scene represents the journey by ship. The right side will have a farm scene from Voice of the Shepherd by Told in the Garden. You can see this being stitched by Joanne, The Story Stitcher. (photo 3) The farm represents both of my parent’s families who were farmers. The children are my mother and father who both grew up on farms in Ohio. I reckon I’m halfway done.

O Sweet Humility Eliza Townsend’s Work by Cross Stitch Antiques. My version finally done. I changed many things but used the main format. I chose all the dmc colors. Photo #2 has the other patterns I used. The fabric is 18 count aida Affogatto. The frame is from Hobby Lobby.
I was especially drawn to this because the house reminds me of the ruins in Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville, Georgia. (Photo #3) It was an antebellum home that survived the Civil War but later was struck by lightning and burned. It is now a resort with a golf course.

O Sweet Humility, Eliza Townsend by Cross Stitch Antiques is almost done. As usual, I left the border for last. I have 24 flowers to do and some small motifs in the center. This is my focal piece so I hope to finish in March.

Progress on O Sweet Humility by Cross Stitch Antiques. My version is drastically different than the original. (photo 3) I prefer brighter colors. All the aninals in the grass are changed except for the duck pond. My favorite is the funky spotted cow. (photo 2) This is my focus piece.

My Scottish Sampler based on North Carolina Sampler by Theresa Baird. I’m using elements of the sampler and condensing the top border. That giant 4” thistle is what got me. I’m stitching the sampler to acknowledge the Scottish heritage on both parents’ sides.

Autumn Moon Glow Quilt. The king size quilt we commissioned from an Amish woman arrived in the mail today. She machine pieced it with a treadle machine and then hand quilted it. We ordered it after seeing one on her quilt frame in a video by RoseBGone on Youtube. I provided the 108” ombre red backing. We bought it to celebrate our 50th anniversary this year.
Absolutely thrilled with this.

Maria Ewin c.1820 The 2023 Queen of the May by hands Across the Sea Samplers finished.
LFA Linens 16 count Schooner Aida. DMC threads two over one. Stitched over a two year period.
Changes:
Brightened colors by looking at Ann Uffindel Tong.
Substituted verse with girls Maria Rosina Willett 1841 by Leo Nora Craft.
Changed dog and deer with peacock from Peacocks and Posies by Karen Kluba.
Changed flowers in arrangement by looking at Anne Thomas tea towel. I wanted to repeat the carnations that are in the corners.
Added alphabet.
Removed motifs.
Added bees around girls.

Observations:
This sampler was much larger than I first thought.
The chart is beautiful and easy to stitch. I would would recommend this for a beginner except the over one verse which I changed for the girls.
Once again I left much of the border for last. I had 20+ flowers to do. I wish I’d learn to stitch it as I go.

A gift for Emma. I stitched this 5x7 piece for an Amish woman who my husband and I commissioned to make a quilt. Since she pieces with a treadle sewing machine, this Prairie Schooler pattern is perfect. She has a quilt shop so I’m hoping she will like it and display it in her store.

Yet another saved stitch. This is a large, 25”x19”, wool needlepoint I came across on Etsy. It was beautifully finished as a pillow so I am using it as a back support in my stitchy chair. I may frame it later. I am so happy to get to enjoy it everyday. The seller couldn’t give me any information about the stitcher.

Progress on Maria Ewin. This was called for august on my wipgo board. I had a frame made at Hobby Lobby since my framer is retiring this month. Lots of incentive to get her done.
