WOW - such beautiful Scarlet Letter samplers being stitched on these two blogs. I haven't had much time for blog reading this month so I'm sure I have missed a lot.
When I joined this blog I mentioned that I wanted to work on a barely started Dorothy Walpole.
I can't believe I completely forgot about my poor 1/2 finished long neglected Where the Hart Lives sampler.
I'm sorry to say I don't remember what linen I am stitching it on but I think it is Belfast Antique White and with the called for Soie d'Alger colors. I am running low on the color used to fill the border so I am trying to finish the border before I move back to the interior of the sampler in case I have to use a different dye lot of the dark red.
This sampler was intended to be an anniversary sampler for my parents who name happens to be HART - happy coincidence right ! They are both stitchers so they will love and enjoy this sampler once it finally gets done. Haven't taken a single stitch on Dorothy Walpole. So I think I will change my focus to this lovely SL sampler since I have so much of it done already. Plus I nominated it for a "finishing challenge" that our EGA guild is sponsoring for 2013. This SAL and that challenge should keep it out of the basket and in my hands quite a bit more this year. Cheers and happy stitching Melody

This is really beautiful. I love the bunny in the background. I am loving looking at all the beautiful samplers everyone is stitching.
This is a gorgeous piece. I hope that you are inspired to finish it!
WOW! This is such a stunning piece.
Gorgeous!!! What a work of art your are creating for your parents!! You have just gotta get it finished!!!! Your parents will be so grateful and happy when you give this to them.
I sure hope you have enough of the dark red that you need to finish it. Wishing you good luck on that!
What a lovely present for your parents ...I am sure they will love it.
Melody, I am looking forward to seeing you finish this piece. It is beautiful and you are 1/2 way there.
Oh Melody this is a perfect gift for your parents and how wonderful that they both stitch.
I often joke with my husband that he should take it up. I am secretly glad that he hasn't as I am sure that I would have to spend many hours sorting out tangled threads.
What a thoughtful gift for your parents! Lovely job. I'm also happy to hear both your parents stitch. I know it's rare to find male stitchers, but we're out here. ;)
What a beautiful gift this is for yur parents. There is a lot of work in the whole piece. The red of the border is lovely and makes the letters really pop.
Wow, what a beautiful sampler. Love it It will make a fantastic gift
