Mystery Sampler Coming in October

Lori of LaDDa owns an antique sampler created by Margaret Cottam, aged 9, in 1807. Using this sampler and Lori's unique stype of design, the results are an incredible sampler. This preview pictue shows the bonus piece, included on the first release, and the color palette. There will be 3 patterns in the series. The first will detail the bottom of the sampler and yes, it will be worked from the bottom up! The second release features the middle and the third will complete the piece with the top of the design. The sampler size is 170w x 200h and is stitched on WDW Cocoa linen, your choice of 30, 35 or 40ct. It uses a total of 8 Weeds Dye Works fibers. The first release will be mid October, followed by part 2 and 3 in November and December.
