I have been admiring this simple yet beautiful sampler from Blackbird Designs for a few years now. I love the colors Schnectedy, Cinnamon, Dried Thyme (all time favorite) and I used a beautiful color from WDW called Red Rocks. It is a gorgeous deep red with lots of other variations of red. However, I am a little disappointed in the stark differences in thread color from one skein to another. Sometimes, I just miss calculate and need to purchase an extra skein, then the thread color is just so different from skein to skein. I stitched it on 32 ct Goldfinch from R&R, which I just love. The sampler came out dark, primitive and so fall like. Now to get it framed...
I am finishing up on one of the small Sheepish Designs Antiques now..
Enjoy!!

This is lovely. I know what you mean about the difference in overdye threads. Your sampler is just beautiful. Frame it, hang it, enjoy it!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Don't you just love BBD's? They are one of my favorites. Great job. Look forward to seeing it framed.
This is such a beautiful design. You have done so well. I understand what you mean about the colour differences between skeins, but I am sure that it still looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it framed.
