The Cutest Tiny Garden Ever!

Do you agree?  I pass by this little garden every day and I can't help stopping to look every time.

 


Moss heads are my favorites.

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!
