June 18, 2016--Have been wanting to stitch this beautiful sampler ever since I read about it on other needlepoint blogs. It has all the elements I love--beautiful design, challenging stitches, perle threads, etc. So I ordered it from SJ Designs and a few days ago received the kit and prework instructions. I managed to stitch the middle section and that's all that will get done until the class starts July 1st, or whenever I receive the instruction manual in the mail, whichever comes first. I hope to keep up with the class, but with all the traveling DH and I will be doing (most of July, lots of August, September and October), it looks dubious.
I chose to stitch this with ecru perle on 24 ct. eggshell canvas. Susan has set up a Facebook page for those participating in this project to share their progress and ask questions.
