Hi All

Thought I share my twisted band sampler - complete for you all

Top dedication


Bottom inscription (the quote is from her grave stone)


The whole thing on my chair


Using cropping to get a bit closer - for its final close up


And for a special treat a wee slide show - step by step of the twisted band sampler

Now to look forward to 2015, thank you all for your kind words and encouragement.

sweetcarer - that slide show is amazing as is the finished sampler with dedication. Made me quite emotional watching it build up to the finished piece. Truly stunning xx

Hope everyone is feeling ok today. DH has a sore head - I however feel very good having only had cola last night at our friends house

Going to sort out my next project later. Whoop whoop!

Sweetcarer, that looks absolutely amazing! I've loved watching your progress with it and I will miss seeing the different stitches you've used. Where do you plan to display it?

Happy new year to everyone in the cafe! Hope 2015 brings you much happiness and joy. xxx

Morning all. Managed quite a bit on Celtic lady's skirt over the last couple of days, hoping to get a bit of the gold swirlyness pattern done today.
Hope everyone is well and getting some stitchy time in.
