Loretta commanded that I had to share my other passion with you all here on the board.

This is a piece called St. Georges, by Long Dog Samplers. It was stitched 1 thread over 2 on 28 ct. hand dyed Jobelan fabric. Thread is called Country Road and it is from Victoria Clayton silks.

I have more kicking around somewhere. Thanks for looking everyone.

Beautiful work....wish I could still do this...I miss it... I do still hand embroider occasionally but its a rarity for me anymore...arthritis .... ..ok quit my whining now! LOL I love any kind of hand work and this is beautious stuff!!!

Those are LOVELY!

They are beautiful and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Do you do all your works in cross stitch or other types too? My sister is looking for projects that require all those stitches Shay Pendray teaches on her show- not just samplers, and of course, it a subject she likes. She's been trying on google and doesn't seem to find any! :cry:

Dawson's had some specialty stitches in it. I don't care for them myself, as they can be a royal pain in the rumporoni.

Beautiful work, Nepthys, I so wish I could still see to do this. I loved counted cross stitch, the family has some things I made for them, but so wish I could still do it! :cry: :cry:

Hugs,
Sharon
