Hi friends! I did it. I worked on Pink Hill Manor all week and finished it. 😊
This entire sampler block is stitched one over one on 25 count cream Dublin linen using DMC. I made substitutions of alternate DMC colors to my liking as I stitched.
As you can see my Manor is a bit different. I like the two sweet doves charted at the bottom very much, but I could not resist adding two poodles. I had to heighten that central flower on the bottom to accommodate the poodles.
I left off some of the tiny motifs that were charted since this is all stitched one over one on 25 count linen, it really does not need extra "stuff".
You may notice I do not have a name or date on this sampler block. Since this block is already so very, very PINK! I am dedicating this to my favorite things. Pink and poodles. 🐩
I now get to begin the second row! I have pulled the flosses to Farm House, the next pattern in the series. I am not sure who it is getting dedicated to yet. I have a few kinks to work out with some remaining blocks and family members. 😉
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those
who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children
together, as a hen gathers her chicks under
her wings, but you were not willing!" Matthew 23:37
I have a giveaway going on right now. It is for an Adam and Eve Reproduction Sampler. You can enter the giveaway

I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends. It is going to be near 100º here this weekend, so I am going to be inside stitching. I have been gardening in the evenings this week though after the sun goes down.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

How fun that you added the poodles. I love it when stitchers take a pattern and make it their own. This is the perfect example. Enjoy your stitching! --Andrea
Pink Manor is lovely Vickie.Your two poodles are so sweet:) hope you have ag ood weekend
Hello Vicky,
I like your embroidery, and I like the change very well. I like poodles, and they look great on your emblem.
Have a nice Weekend, Greetings Martina
Aww it's so cute and adding the poodles is so cute
Love the pot of flowers so much
Big hugs x
Cute block - your entire project is looking great!
Fun poodles addition on this block :)

Have a nice weekend.
Congrats on the pretty finish Vickie.

Pink Hill is lovely - you are going to have quite the project Vickie. Enjoyed the birds and plants too...oh, and the poodles!
I like your changes very much. It does look better cleaned up a bit from as you say "stuff"! I wanted to do a birdbath with succulents but I am afraid of too much water with no drainage holes. Yours is wonderful.
I do love your over one stitching. Of course you had to have poodles with the pink house!
Your poodle additions are adorable and look perfect.
Pink Hill is lovely, so is the entire piece. I have always loved poodles - I showed dogs for many years and I always said when I won the lotto I was going to buy a fabulous poodle and sit at ringside and watch it be shown ! I am a new follower - love your blog - check mine out too when you have time. have a wonderful weekend - Mel
Love your Pink Hill stitch so much Vickie. And your addition of your poodles makes it perfect...perfectly Vickie. I love stitching on 25 ct over one. The color you chose is very pretty too. Enjoy your weekend. RJ @stitching friends forever
This is just lovely. i do think you are very brave stitching one over one. x
I admire the small stitches, I love the barks and the pink. It's really a unique embroidery.
Uau! How lovely block, Vickie! Love your changes!
Happy weekend!
Pink Hill is looking wonderful. Your piece, so far, is fantastic.
Have a good weekend.
It's turning out beautiful Vickie....a work of art and love.
So sweet! How nice that you added some personal touches too. Well done 😊
I love the pink house Vickie how pretty .
Hope you are having a lovely weekend hugs .
Oh wow Vickie!! You've been working on a masterpiece! So glad I popped by to see this beauty you are working on. I'm always amazed at your 1 over 1 stitching! So teeny tiny! It's been so long since I stitched that when I picked it up, I had a hard time seeing the "crosses"! EEK! Hope my eyes aren't starting to go. Lots of love and hugs :D
Thank you for the Matthew verse, Vickie. I needed that today.
A beautiful piece your are working on Vickie. I love the colors
Hello dear Vickie,
This is SO you! The poodles in the small sampler you made. Well, part of a row. It looks lovely.
I am amazed to see those birds at your place, wow! The flowers and pots look lovely too.
Have a great day, my friend.
Hugs across the pond, Carolien
Your adapted Pink Hill Manor is so delightful!
Guess you spent the weekend in the cool comfort of your house this weekend! Hope it cools off soon!
So sweet to see the two poodles in the garden of Manor House.
Oh it's so pretty! Beautiful little pink finish :D I agree with your decisions, it didn't need anything 'extra' crowding it!
Of course you added poodles, I expect nothing less! It is very cute, and such lovely shades of pink! Congrats on the finish! Hugs!
So, so beautiful, Vickie! You are truly an artist with the needle! I love your flowers and plants. They are amazing. I just love coming by to see your latest creation. You're an inspiration!
Blessings - Julie
I love the poodles you added, they're perfect!
