Try Victoria Samplers Heirloom Wedding Sampler.

That is absolutely beautiful but I don't have the knowledge to do it. I should've said 'non counted thread' rather than non-xs. -- another Anne, add ingers to frugalf to reply |

That's the beauty of Victoria Sampler. As for non-counted, I'm not any help, but I'll bet Dianne has some ideas. Also, Jenny June or the Country Bumpkin.

Truly, it isn't difficult, and I've always found the VS instructions to be very clear and comprehensive. Best wishes, Ericka |

I might be able to do the heart area. This gives me an excuse to visit LNS to see if they have the pattern ;-) -- another Anne, add ingers to frugalf to reply |

Pulled and snipped threads seem intimidating at first, but I think you might well be surprised how easily they work up. You can definitely alter the pattern a bit to skip the cutting if you like, but once you give it a little try, I think you'll look back and wonder what you were so worried about ;-) Best wishes, Ericka |

The description of the model say "Creamy white silk threads, white silk ribbon, shimmering metallic and soft white perle cotton..." and further down the page is list of supplies. I'd appreciate it if a kind soul would tell me which of those supplies are the silk threads (kreinik and ???) as well as giving alternative suggestions. If I do a piece, I'm veering towards all white or mostly white with a smidgen of red to match the just selected bridal party color scheme. My 'kids' are moving ahead fast with their plans and are planning an early December wedding ;-) -- another Anne, add ingers to frugalf to reply |

The silk threads a
Au ver a soie 3443 warm taupe Silk Mori 8000 white Not sure about the Trebizond, as I've never used it. You'd have to get to a conversion chart to see what would work for the 3443. White, of course, is just white, easily substituted. However, I would think for this piece that the silk threads might be used because of their peculiar sheen, and be an integral part of the overall appearance. Neither of these threads is hard to obtain, nor very costly, so not sure why you'd want to substitute for this very lovely sampler.

The trebizond is also silk - approximately equivalent to a perle cotton, but
certainly with more sheen. Addie "Dianne Lewandowski" wrote in message ... The silk threads a Au ver a soie 3443 warm taupe Silk Mori 8000 white Not sure about the Trebizond, as I've never used it.
