Elizebeth Bechtel Unfinished



I have been really enjoying looking at all the unfinished samplers on various blogs. Nicole's blog is full of gorgeous unfinished samplers. Nicole I would love to visit you and stitch some of these with you!!

I don't have a lot of unfinished samplers but I sure do have a few. Elizabeth Bechtel is one. Though it looks complete, I need to stitch 6 strawberries in Queen stitch. I did stitch one of them yesterday, so only 5 to go. This sampler was done in silk and I absolutely love working in silk. I must have put it down 2 years ago. I need to check it carefully as I don't remember what else is not done. This sampler is from Essamplaire. This came as a kit, but I changed the linen. The linen I chose is a little flimsy.

Oh Donna, this one is really lovely. It will be lovely when you finish it. You haven't got that much to do. - Sandra.

Your sampler looks wonderful! I can't wait to see it finished. I, like you, have so many unfinished samplers. I want to get to all of them, but I've been working on Ann Medd and I'm determined to finish her. One of these days. Looking through your blog I see so many that I would like to do.
