I'm making good progress on Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler. I'm offering you a sneak peek. This one is laid out rather unusually. You can't see it yet, but there is a main section of the sampler that is square, but the overall sampler is rectangular. Lots of pretty shades of pinky red and soft/antique green. It's fun to stitch. I hope to have it finished in the next few days.
Also, I'm doing a little show-and-tell of a sampler I own to see what people think. Next reproduction? It's a great old Adam & Eve sampler, one of a pair I own by two sisters (the Philpott's) from Ramsgate done in the 1830's. They are similar in size and colors, but all of the motifs and what-not are different. Should this be my next one? I bet it's a ton of fun to stitch. And she did a fabulous job. Hope y'all had a great weekend. Steve was excited about the Vikings' win last night over the Packers (Brett Favre lives just up the road from us.) I sat and stitched. After all, it's just a game!
Oh YES... please make the A&E sampler your next repro!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that EVERYONE is going to want this Beauty!! It is fabulous!!!! Jenny Bean Christmas is terrific, just got the Halloween/threads yesterday, along with Sarah. VERY excited!!
ReplyDeletePlease please please!!!!! Love those trees on the A&E and of course A&E themselves! Loving Jenny Bean Christmas too. I started Halloween on Sunday and I am loving it - such a fun piece and those ltd edition threads make it even more fun to stitch!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love them both! Yes, this A&E should be your next repro. It's wonderful! I love A&E's too, of course. :D Thanks for the sneak peeks.

Woohoo--I can't wait to see all of your Jenny Bean, the Christmas edition. ;) I am hoping all of my supplies for the new Jenny Bean will arrive this week.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes, it'd be fabulous if that was the repro that you released next. Maybe I'm biased because they're my favorite sampler motif, but I think they're very popular right now & would do well.
Theresa, I collect Adam and Eve reproductions, and yours is lovely. Please make this your next sampler. It is a "must have."

Oh my... it is gorgeous. You get a resounding YES from me... although I don't envy the hours you will spend charting it!
ReplyDeleteDitto to everything Siobhan said - Love the A&E - and it has a companion, can't wait!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Theresa. This is a great sampler. Love the big bird and the border. The Adam and Eve are great and that tree is wonderful. I definitely think you should make this your next reproduction.

ReplyDeleteI love Jenny Bean! Can you show us the verse a little better for us blind people who can see as good? LOL.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants to see the sampler/verse better, you can click on it, and it will blow up bigger! :) I'll put a pic up soon of Jane's sister's sampler.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the peek at the Jenny Bean christmas piece. Can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteI think both of those are going to be big hits. You can't go wrong with an A&E sampler. :) Love the sneak peek of Jenny Bean.
ReplyDeleteWOW - that A&E sampler is beyond awesome - hope you do decide to repro it.
ReplyDeleteYour Woodham sampler is awesome too and she and Jenny are on their way to me.
