Very nice. When Donna and I were at the Scarlet Thread - I was tempted to
some of the Martina Weber charts, and one of the Long Dog Samplers. But,
instead - I just had to have the Drawn Thread Love & Wisdom, which I bought.
I was, however really torn between some of the Mandala gardens (Alpine,
Knotgarden, TajMahal), and just let it go. The Long Dog Samplers that I've
got in the back of my mind a

Oh, abd as you guys may remember - I've been lusting after A marriage of Two
Minds, but I think that will wait until I get through the next couple of
projects. I don't know why this really draws me in.

And, I do want the "Calico Dog and Gingham Cat" from Carriage House
Samplings that Donna was kitting up - but, that, too will wait. Tee hee.

OK - I'm supposed to go clean the kitchen so I can cook for the poor, tired
DH and myself.

I have a pot of soup simmering. Santa just dumped a sleighload of work
on me, so that was something I didn't have to spend a lot of time
attending to.

HMMM - I have several things I want to start. I may just put Miss Gertie
Bird on the lap frame and go for it. Since it is all DMC, I won't worry
about the effect of my hands on anything "nicer"....

Cheryl

I'm on a sampler kick and I'm yearning for an intricate band sampler. Any
suggestions???

Lucille



Just about anything by Indigo Rose or Drawn Thread. There are also some
really nice Earth Threads ones (Betsy Stinner) that are quite intricate, but
not so large. I have the Indigo Rose "Acorn" one in the recent stash - it's
in the queue for after I do the new Drawn Thread Love and Wisdom. I like
that it doesn't have any sayings on it.

Of course, you could go for the Summer Garden from Victoria's Sampler, then
moan with Joan & I over the less than great directions. It's got some
lovely stitches, and isn't very large.

Have fun - what a good question to get us all looking at things to lust
after.

I did a Celtic band sampler from Homespun Samplar that's lovely and was
great fun. I stitched it in silks. It hangs in my living room.

Is it intricate enough for what you're looking for?

Sue
Hey, I remember seeing that as an almost done WIP - it's gorgeous - and the
work isn't half bad either ;^)

"Open Heart" by the Drawn Thread or almost anything by Indigo Rose.

Elizabeth

LOL - Almost exactly what I wrote - but despite the time difference - I
hadn't read your response. How funny.

So, hmmm - did you know that Ellice (of course mine is a weird spelling) is
French for Elizabeth....ooooohhh spooky .

I know and love The Drawn Thread but for whatever reason I was totally
unfamiliar with Indigo Rose. Now I'm not sure whether I should say thank
you for introducing me to them or why did you do that, you gave me a
problem. :^)

They do have some really nice pieces.

Lucille

I think that the designers have similar, although distinct, styles. Both
also have very good charts.

Have fun with the dilemma.

Because it's beautiful and intricate and challenging? LOL! It's all of
those. I did it for a wedding gift and it turned out wonderfully. (It
also cost a small fortune, with all those silks!)

Hey Ellice! Gimme back my brain!

I, too, lust after Marriage of Minds.
