For those who joined me originally in the Stitch-a-Long for this design, you will notice that I switched out the Florentine Stitch section above the verse for a blackwork design. I did however stitch a small section of Florentine stitch on either side of the signature cartouche. If you've purchased the chart and haven't stitched your sampler yet, please contact me at HeartseaseEW@gmail.com for a free PDF chart of the changes I made. You can then decide to stitch it as it was originally charted or make the changes I did. Either way, I'm sure you will be pleased with the final results.
There really aren't too many things to address regarding the instructions for completion of the sampler, but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help in any way I can.
As I said in the opening paragraph, I've had some major events take place in my life since I last posted in 2016. On Thanksgiving of that year, I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and it took me a good year to recuperate and get back to stitching and designing again. I'm very pleased and grateful to say that, aside from a little weakness in one leg, I'm fully recovered! Thank God!
I'm planning on updating this site with some of my newest projects and hope to use it to make available some information on finishing and freebies for the needlework community. In the meantime, stay safe and stay well. It's good to be back!
