Cottage Creations Mystery Sampler

Becky Autry designed a mystery sampler for the Sampler Guild of the Rockies group. We had to choose our own colours and each mth during the summer we receive our part. This is part one complete. I didn't have too many overdyed silks to choose from and every Sat we have been busy so I couldn't get to the LNS, so these are the silks I chose. Still not too sure if I like my choices but hope it grows on me.

I just loved this little red tin and the designs that Fancywork made for It. Stitched up quick but the finishing took time. I changed the way they had it finished. And this was my first biscourni which I just loved. Stitched on 32 ct antique Belfast linen with Weeks Thread.

This beautiful pin and scissor keep by Betsy Morgan of Willing Hands Needlework Designs was our project at the Sampler Guild of the Rockies. Betsy will be coming next month to show us how to assemble it and bring our scissors for the fob. It stitched up quick and was a wonderful project using the silk threads. I can't wait to get it put together in April.
