The People's Choice - Houses

 

Every month, on the first Saturday, Jo at Serendipidous Stitching hosts a Stitch A Long, with the topics chosen by her readers. This month's topic is Houses.

This ornament was a free chart from the Drawn Thread.

This wool door hanger was a kit, but I can't remember the designer.

The name of this chart was Dream House, but I've given away the chart so I don't have any other details.

The 12th Pear (free chart from Samplers and Santas)

Winter Alphabet Bag, designed by Judy Gibbs of Hollie Designs.

In the "yet to be finished" category is my house quilt.

Finally, the birdhouses.

The People's Choice - Traditional Samplers

 

Every month, on the first Saturday, Jo at Serendipidous Stitching hosts a Stitch A Long, with the topics chosen by her readers. This month's topic is traditional samplers. I have done some samplers, but maybe not so much in the traditional category.  Anyway, here's what I have this month.  

I stitched this reproduction type sampler with silk threads and finished it into a wallet.

I made this little sampler with Danish Flower Thread, but haven't finished it into anything yet.

The Puzzle Purse was a project when I was in the Carolina Sampler Guild.

This Summer Sampler Box and little toolies were designed by Denise Harrington Pratt and a class I took at an EGA seminar.

The pin cushion I use most is a little sampler.

I stitched these twelve sampler pears, which are available as free charts from Samplers and Santas.

The Sneek Sampler is a work in progress.

I like traditional samplers, but counting can be a challenge!
