I finally got Sarah Elizabeth Brooke 1842 finished this morning!! I am doing a happy dance after finishing up the grass. I just really enjoyed this stitch and it finally helped me to get my stitching mojo back. Tanya has done some really lovely samplers and now on to Hannah Tingey which I just adore! Thank you for all of your comments here! I hope you will be inspired to stitch this. I especially loved doing the red bricks in the Belle Soie Red Fox thread. I stitched mine on 40 ct. Vintage Lt Exampler fabric with the called for Belle Soie threads.
My husband is using this wood in the photo to build a frame for this project and his router is going as we speak. I will put up a new photo when he gets this framed for me with this exotic wood. He loves doing woodworking and does wonderful framing! :))
