I'm planning to join one of the SAL groups. If stitchers are interested in joining the group, participating in either SAL, LINK HERE.
Per Newsletter: "Ann's sampler was purchased by Colonial Williamsburg in 1998. To read more about the acquisition, go HERE.
The reproduction is worked in the stitching techniques found on the original: Cross, Double Running, Algerian Eye, and Satin with accents of Chain, Bullion Knots and Double Back Stitch."
More info in links provided. The one I started (back in 2004)... and ruined the linen by basting ... and bought new linen ... will be one of the projects. Yippie Skippie. Now I have some inspiration to get this one out and moving along.
The other 2008 SAL I'll be participating in will be a BOAF called Happy Hearts Sampler.
Tobie, Gingham Stitcher Blog, recently finished her sampler. It looks awesome. So far, I have the pattern -- still need fibers and linen. Funness.

Gorgeous upcoming projects. I love the BOAF, but I'll have to sit out a SAL. I'll enjoy watching your progress, though!!
The Holwll Sampler is gorgeous. No doubt it's silks. I'll enjoy following your progress. I keep going back to the BOAF one myself.
Beautifel embroidery!
Kind regards,

clob south of france !
thanks to for the MAry Garry's freebie ! i love it !!!!
Nice SAL choices! I think I must not have the discipline to do SAL... I have started 2 and quit both of them.
Looking forward to watching yours develop :)
Both projects look wonderful, have fun with your upcoming SAL's. It is such fun to be stitching a project with a group and see how everyone does (especially the subtle changes they make in fabric or colors to make it their own).

Looks like you're going to have plenty of fun in 2008! :)
I love Ann Holewll Sampler. Hope to see your progress in the future.
I would like to have more information about Ann Holewll sampler such as:
1. What is the size of this sampler?
2. Is this stitch over 3?
I saw your WIP pic, it looks like stitch over 3.
3. Did you stitch it on 35 ct or 40 ct linen? in silk or DMC? Thank you for your help.
