Hey, well, I know you are all going to want to see this ... Ann Dale came in the mail this week. Thanks so much to Chris Canaday to doing a fabbo job stitching the model. I have already ordered a frame, and the piece is stretched. Isn't it gorgeous? The next few days I'll be working on getting the chart finished. When the frame is in, I can print covers, and away we go! Just a reminder that this (above) sampler will be sold as a graph. You also will be able to order the ENTIRE sampler graph (this is just the bottom third). And there will be a third booklet available with just the urns from the sampler (to use for smalls and ornaments.) (You should be able to click on the picture to make it larger.)
My friend Jennifer and I had a great time in St. Charles at the Celebrations of Needlework show. Our booth looked just like a little shop, and I was fortunate to be able to meet stitchers from all over the place. I sold lots of fabric, lots of my sampler charts, and lots of silk, so I know there are some very happy and busy stitchers this week.
I always enjoy market, because it's one time that all of my models are in one place. I loan a lot of my pieces out to other shops during the year, so it's kind of like a little family reunion to have them all back together in one place.
I am busy now getting the store back together, answering e-mails and shipping orders. I am hoping that Celebrations will host the show again next year. If they do, I will be there...with bells on!

This is fabulous! I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for thinking of us and offering several stitching options (full chart, lower part, etc.) Very thoughtful of you indeed!
Ann Dale is absolutely gorgeous.
I can't wait

Oh, She's soooo beautiful! Can't wait for the chart!
We loved Celebrations too! And I am glad you will be there next year (I'm an optimist)! Seeing all your beautiful samplers in one place was so inspiring. Ann is amazing too!
Boy howdy, Ann Dale is certainly a beauty!! kelley
What a gorgeous sampler!
I was at Celebrations too! It was great to see all the shops and designers in one place. I hope they host it again next year also!
What a beautiful sampler!
Ann Dale is gorgeous! And it was such fun to meet you and see your reproductions and the originals in person at Celebrations. Pictures just never do them justice. I truly hope that Celebrations comes back to St. Charles next year. It was terrific!
I can't wait to get this sampler! It is truly gorgeous. : )
Ann Dale is so pretty! I love the reds in it. Glad that you had a good show at Celebrations. I wish that I lived closer so that I could see all of your lovely models not to mention adding to my stash!
OMG, I think Ann Dale needs to be friends with EM Gandley - working on her now!!
I love the booth setup - bet it didn't look that neat and beautiful at the end of Celebrations and that is the point! Glad it was good for you...wish I could have attended. One of these days...
Enjoy catching up - always a good feeling when all is right with your world again.
Ann Dale looks WONDERFUL! I am glad that your time at Celebrations was great!
Keep us posted on the official release of the piece!
BTW - What is the very large piece in the middle on the second image???
