Madeira Biscornu,
and the signature RR's (no picture - bagged up and ready to mail :).
Now I have the completed set of the Madeira Tin Sampler Project by Fancy Work.
I hit a snag with the Snowman pillow. I've been to JoAnn's twice this weekend and can't find a material that I really like to go with it. I'm going to another place soon, so I can get that one finished.
I did stitch on my Travel Sampler, but not much. It's only a little progress, but it's out and in my stitching spot and I'll be working on it more. This particular chart was a personalized sampler I got from Nouveau Encore. Stephanie designs these, similar to the French Alphabet charts, and does a phenomenal job. I was privileged to travel around with my mother over a ten year span. This sampler is a culmination of the different places we visited. I'm using black silk with a darker green and a wine over-dyed (not the green, pink, and yellow featured in the picture). The fabric is a 32 ct. cream evenweave.
Before......
After......a little bit more in the top border
Full chart design....
This has been a real joy to watch everyone's finishes and really get to work more on mine. I think we're all thinking this is a great idea to do once a month. I know Shelleen is planning on it, and so are some others. So, I hope to see everyone back with all their lovely labors once again!
On another note, I was thrilled to see that there is Let's Stitch TOO that does have memberships open, so I was able to join. This is a wonderful blog, guaranteed (well, almost) to make you pull your UFO's out and start finishing up some of these projects that are getting moth-eaten! Check it out - you'll be impressed. Until next time...hope all have a great day.

WOW you got a lot done too. Love everything you did. The Sampler is going to be awesome. A real labor of love.
Can't wait for our next weekend of finishing....I think it's a great idea too.
Beautiful finishing, Carolyn! The tin set is so neat!
OH my gosh. That sampler will look FANTASTIC when finished. It's amazing. And wow, you traveled a lot.
Lovely finished. They all look great.
You got so much done! Congratulations. I love your personalised sampler. It's beautiful.
Beautiful finishing Carolyn! I love your travel sampler-so neat!
Wow...it all looks so great!! Glad you got in on the Let's Stitch Too. You asked about my black fabric for my AOXS on my blog...it is 28 count Black Lugana. I like the fabric alot just not the color! Why did I choose black?? It was hard to work on at first but I am getting use to it now. I just have to make sure there is plenty of light. Talk to you soon.
First let me say thank you for signing the signature RR's :)
Great finishing! I still have to finish my class stitching/finishing
I adore that sampler! It will be fun watching you work on it :)
What a wonderful piece!How very touching of you to find a way to treasure those travel experiences with your mom and incorporate them into your family's history. Lovely!
Beautiful finishing!
That sampler is intense! Very pretty border so far.
