Rachel Hyde Update1


Here is my most recent update of Rachel Hyde. This Sampler is an antique reproduction from Threads of Gold and I love it. The bottom says God Save America (half done). The colors are dark and subtle on the border and bright in the center. I really like the contrast. I am so enjoying working on this sampler. The right and left vine is stitched in Rice Stitch and the rest so far is cross stitch. I am stitching with 2 threads of floss on 36 ct linen over two. There is some tent stitch with one thread of floss over one. I purchased this sampler at my LNS. Double Cross in Knoxville, TN.

Enjoy!!
