| Just Cross Stitch magazine Oct 2015. I got the button from A Stitching Shop. Stitched on 30 ct Gold Weeks linen. I got the thread it called for with my button but decided to change it to GAST Carriage Black. |

| Took a break from Betsy Davis sampler to work this little one up for the month. |

Betsy Davis sampler fill in tip.
 |
The fill in I used two strands. The borders and
strawberry band are
alternating half stitches over one. If you look close you
see the stitches run
the same direction on the same rows vertical and
horizontal.
Easy to keep correct by just using the vertical threads.
So one
direction up and one direction across on the same row
will help you keep
correct. I went up the stitch going from
bottom left to top right then came
back down next row going
top left to bottom right staying on the vertical
threads only.

Betsy Davis update

I didn't like the satin stitches for leaves around the
Queen flowers. Frogged out and replaced with Queen stitches like other Balch
samplers I've seen. I took out some of
the old leaves I did and redid them.

Far left tree has V and L symbols and hard to distinguish on the chart.
The leaves are L and branches V

Everything complete except the filling in which is taking as long as the sampler.

| Last time I can redo. My threads underneath are weakening so this I'll live with. |
