    Thanks for that link Wraithlady, I will have a look. I have a subscription to one of the mainstream magazines, I have just completed the summer sampler that was in them. Am going to give it to my daughter for her uni room notice board. Hope she likes it.

    Hello everyone. Baby who sampler is for arrived on 23rd July so can stitch the middle section now. I’ve stitched G to Z on top border and first 1-9 on right-hand side. I went rogue on three cats as these were in white. I don’t like stitching white on the cream to me it doesn’t contrast enough and always looks messy! I did one white, one black and one an orange shade. I’ll probably make one of the dogs black too as they have a little black dog. I’ve started number 4. So I have to finish this, 6, 10, 5, 7 and the centre panel. The borders are lovely to stitch and I stitch as I go. Will try to post later. Have a week’s leave now and off to north York’s with DH until Wednesday x

    It is looking so cute though Daisy. Sometimes it’s hard to feel you’re making progress. That’s why the updates are good. Here’s my progress on the sampler.
    This was this morning, stitched both sides of the border down to number 10 and started the birdhouse in number 4 between gardening. Aiming to finish that tonight if I can!

    Keeping myself accountable but feeling I'm getting very close.  Not planning on doing the writing so just this last corner to go  :)

    So close Daisy. It’s exciting when the end is in sight! I’ve done a bit more too. First half of right-hand border done and all four of the birds. Just the bird house and ready to move to number 6.
