JCS sampler

This is my latest finish. A sampler designed by Sharon Cohen of Nostalgic Needle which appeared in an issue of JCS magazine in two installments last year...or maybe the year before. I used the recommended GAST thread but only one strand and did the piece on 40 ct natural linen over two threads. I am delighted with the result. Of late I have returned to a rotation of sorts. I have spent 5 days on Sunbathing by Bizzi creations. This is a piece I began in 2008 and have just returned to. Next I spent 5 days on Carriage House Samplings A Virtuous Woman Stocking on 40 count. And finally 4 days doing 4 tiny JBW French Country Angels on 25 count to be made up into ornaments for my 4 great nieces. Now I am back to Sunbathing...we'll have to wait and see how long I can keep up the rotation idea!

Beautiful finish. I enjoyed looking at Adrianne's needlework show. I am sure it was even better in person. She is definitely an inspiration! I hope I can keep stitching that long. I might even make a dent in my stash.
