The first cross-stitch sampler I’ve done in years is finished. I’m amazed at how quick it was to stitch. It was a wonderful little sampler to work. Now to decide how to frame it.
Smudge helping me as I was working on the squirrel in the bottom right.



It’s a beautiful sampler Cathi!! I love the paw and the squirrel! It’s great to see Smudge knows how to cross-stitch!

The sampler looks very nice – one thing I never really got into doing was cross stitch. The two Patchwork Crosses in the previous post look wonderful. I can't wait to see this top put all together.

Cathi…this sampler is just gorgeous! It has been fun watching it come to life. I think it would be wonderful framed and oh the squirrel…but I think I'm still partial to that rabbit. :-)It's rare I see a Lester sleeping pose.

You may *think* Lester was sleeping, but in actuality, he was SUPERVISING! At the second you took his picture, he had blinked. Yes – that's it – it's a BLINK! ;)The sampler is gorgeous – what a labor of love!
