Jane Austen Sampler Finish

Hello friends,

I don't have a "birds and words" for you today, because I couldn't stop stitching on my Jane Austen sampler. (Picture is clickable for a larger image.)

I did manage to finish it up this morning and it is the perfect description of how we have spent the last several days; my dear sister-in-law, Sarah, has been visiting us this week, and so far we have spent most of our time at home, sleeping in, drinking coffee, cooking fun meals, snuggling under the covers to watch movies, and playing with Philo. We are still in pajamas at 1:00 pm as I type! Soon we will get dressed and head downtown to the museum for their live jazz evening. I hope you will all have a restful weekend as well.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments on my last post- I appreciate you each stopping in and taking the time to say hello.

Rachel your Jane Austen sampler is gorgeous! I don't blame you for not wanting to put it down.

It sounds like you're having a nice visit with your SIL. Enjoy the rest!

By the way, the fruit salad you mentioned on my blog sounds delicious.

Happy weekending,

Hi Rachel,

I love your Jane Austen sampler! it's great! Did you use the fabric and the threads of the pattern in the gift of stitching or did you make alterations?

best regards,

Saskia

Saskia,

I used 28 ct. country french linen and the crescent color threads which were called for in the pattern, however, I did swap some of the colors for each other from within the recommended color pallette.
