This is stitched one over one on 25ct cream Dublin linen using DMC. I changed many of their suggested DMC, because once again, the ones they suggest do NOT match the picture on the pattern cover at all! So I did a floss toss til I found floss that matched.
This is how the whole sampler looks now.
I am going to stitch up a cute little freebie I just stumbled across yesterday morning. It is not a new one at all. It will work very nicely for my cubby shelf though. Maybe you would like to stitch it too? This is what I will be working on today. Have a look HERE. I will leave you guessing as to what colors I will choose to stitch with.😉
As soon as I finish that little freebie, I will begin the February wreath for my cubby shelf. That way it will be completed and ready for display on the first day of the month.
What are you stitching?
Thank you for stopping by today. I am so glad you did.
We are expecting a little more snow tonight. Just enough to pretty things up again.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Vickie, Anniversaries is beautiful, love how you added Brian's name and birthyear to your latest block. Thanks for the freebie link. And, yes, that is you and Murphy!!!
Hi Vicky,
again such a beautiful block, and above the house a huge butterfly. Wow, and the overall picture just looks fantastic.
What I work? Today on my spring sampler and on Wednesday with the next section of my coffee towel.
Big Hugs, Martina
Hello Vickie,
Your sampler is wonderful, quite a project but stunning!
Good luck with your freebie & have a nice day!
A lovely block for Brian! I'm loving how your piece is turning out! Looking forward to seeing the next wreath too.
Your AOTH is turning out beautifully..very you! Thanks for the freebie link--I'll have to check it out. Keep warm and dry!
Vickie, way to go on finishing "Brian's" block on AOTH! It looks fabulous. Thank you for the link to the complimentary design. I am working on Christmas ornaments at the moment. Have a good week!
So love your stitching. :) Thank you for the link, too. Sending prayers your way sweet friend. ((hugs))
I love your sampler....and pink...think pink!
Gorgeous sampler - and thank you for the freebie link!!

Great sampler - very pretty block!
I'm still stitching away on the stocking I did not finish for my friend's daughter. So many floss changes - I'm starting to doubt I will even finish it this month.
Another great addition. What is the finished size of this piece done over one?
I'm glad you like and trust this doctor. Anxious to see his recommendation.
How pretty your new block! That butterfly is so sweet!
The frebie design is gorgeous! I think you will stitch it in red! ;) No!! In pink!! :)
Happy stitching!
Congrats on the great finish Vickie.

I love these designs a lot. And so great to see how you adjusted the new block to your needs. It looks so beautiful.
Hello Vickie,
wonderful progress on your sampler. The block looks wonderful and all blocks together are great.
I'm stitching on my snowdrops.
Have a nice week.

I love how you've personalised your sampler Vickie. It's so beautiful. I really like your freebie stitch too but can't imagine what colour you're going to stitch it in ;-)
Oh wow Vickie, over one is hard work. It's worth it though.
Very lovely.
Your finished block looks really nice Vickie! I've been absent from blogland for about a week while I was attending rug hooking camp. Tis the season of wool you know ! Thanks again for the SB giveaway - such a cute design. Many thanks and continued prayers for a solution for your pain problem. Have a great week - mel
Vickie, I love your newest block for Brian. It is going to be quite a beautiful sampler when you are done. Are you going to frame it? I can't wait to see it all done.
Thank you for the give away...I will be going there now. I look forward to your wreath for your printers tray. Those wreaths are so pretty. Have a great day. RJ
Your Sampler is so pretty and so delicate looking...I love this...its sure beautiful.
Looking forward to your next Block that you do on this Sampler.
I am anxious to see your Valentine Freebie that you will be doing....
Happy Stitching

What a lovely block for Brian, Vickie! You are really coming along on this huge project. I had no idea you had done so many blocks until I saw your photo of it to date--well done! I know changing colors isn't easy and can be quite time consuming, but you are doing a wonderful job with this!
Cute freebie, too :)
Hi Vickie...
How lovely your sampler is! Your latest block is just stunning and the colors you chose are beautiful! I so want to stitch this but Grandmother’s House from TIAG is absolutely GOING to be finished this year as well as Christmas stockings! Oh yes did I mention maybe a quilt or two that I have started that I would also like to work on...and...and...and...oh yes so many projects that make my heart smile!
I hope you have a great weekend! I had treatment on Friday so my energy level is still low but an email is coming soon...lol!
Sending hugs and love!
You have made such great progress on Anniversaries and to think you are stitching over one! Wow!
Your tiny stitches are just amazing! And such a pretty block! I think I must have missed a few posts because I didn't know you had completed so many blocks. I'm not sure what colors you will be using for the freebie, but I would possibly expect to see some pink? : ) I'm working on Forest Snowfall by CCN.
Beautiful, you're changes are perfect. Nice little freebie too, I'm sure you'll enjoy stitching it
Lovely pink sampler , looks beautiful .
Your sampler is so beautiful. I have all of those patterns waiting to be done, I must remember to think about the colour though as you are not the first person to say that the colours don't match. x
your version of AOTH is so lovely Vickie, another beautiful block to adorn it.
What a lovely Sampler, dear Vickie and your Murphy is always too cute :)I miss a lot my little Lucky since 2012.... I believe that I think in beeing ready to take another one in Spring ....before, I could'nt ....
Your friend,
Isa
Gorgeous work on Brian's Block. I have this image of him coming to your Mum's house in the late evening to throw pebbles at your window so you could lean out and talk to him after your curfew!
Maybe with a ladder under his arm to persuade you to elope with him!
Beautiful work in progress, Vickie
It is lovely to see all your progress on your anniversary sampler.
I just love seeing your stitching!! You do such beautiful work, Vickie, and I always love the colors you pick. I am still working on my Celtic Santa and it's coming along quite nicely! I love stitching!
Blessings - Julie
What a pretty block. You are creating something special Vickie!
Another pretty block and the whole piece is looking gorgeous.
Today I'm working on Parchment Tapestry by Rosewood Manor.
Have a good weekend.
Sempler is very beautiful!
I love your BBD series! They are so impressive all stitched together! I have plans to do the Garden series...someday! :)
Wow, your Moonlight Visitor sounds a lot like my Dearie and Darling. I have put that one away until I can figure out what to design for the top left corner. She’s all done otherwise. It looks like I’ll have His Eye is on the Sparrow out for a while and I’m thrilled.
