August 13, 2013--The sampler is now framed. It's big--33" long by 17.25" wide. Love it.
PS When cutting out the horizontal threads, I held my breath to keep from shaking the scissors and clipping the wrong thread. Success.

July 3, 2013--Band 18 is now complete. Almost done with this sampler---Band 7 needs my attention. The original design by Catherine Jordan is called Contemporary Drawn Thread, calling for threads to be cut and wrapped together in what I consider to be a helter-skelter manner. Will be doing further research on what do to with this.
Band 18--Liberty ANG designed by Ro Pace
June 24, 2013--Band 17, designed by Mary K. Campbell, is done. I used beads from my stash rather than what was suggested. One more band to stitch on the bottom then I must concentrate on what I'll do with Band 7.

Dear Brenda.... Tk you so much for this blog.... I stitched this up to band 6 & stop at Catherine Jordan's band also thinking that I would just do the 3 boarders. I got side tracked by other projects & deadlines, so never got back to it.... but now that you have inspired me, I will take it out of the closet & get stitching on it again.
ReplyDeleteTks again for this inspiration. I did finish the 40th Anniv. heart, made a few changes & love it.
Congratulations on all your ribbons.
Hi Frances. Thank you for your nice comment. When you complete your 40th Anniversary Sampler, please post pictures on the ANG Yahoo Group page, Facebook, etc. You're going to love finishing it--it's really a statement piece.
