I stitched Nellie Irene many years ago. (She sounds a bit Irish, doesn't she?) We're talking M-A-N-Y. Many as in 25??? I'm not really sure but it's been waiting for a "finish" for a long time. I tried to find the chart to see who designed it, but was not successful. The other day I gave it a coffee bath to tone it down. It was stitched on a rather stiff, almost white linen. 28 count, I think.
A couple weeks ago, I promised a give-away and just can't seem to get my act together, so if you'd like a chance to finish this sampler or perhaps tack it to a cupboard or wall as it is, leave me a comment on this post or send me an email with give-away in the subject line. I will pick a winner Thursday evening.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Wow Lauren - Your sampler is lovely just the way it is - although framing it or turning it into a pillow will make it nice too. I can't believe you're giving it away!
Hi Lauren, I will leave a comment but will pass on the give away as I know a lot of girls who would appreciate this sampler so much as they decorate in primitive. Thanks for the generous offer.Have a great week,
Hugs, JB
Lauren,
Your sampler is just lovely and I can't believe that you are so generous in giving her away. I'd love a chance to own this little beauty and promise to give her a real p,ace of honor if I'm the lucky winner.
