Summer Alphabet Sampler - Finish

I am very pleased with the finished sampler.  The colors are great and the over-all mood of the piece is lovely. 

I did change a couple of things: 

The color of the heart to a pink used in the flowers.

Also the base of the skep from satin stitch to cross stitch using two threads for added weight.

I have been working on this sampler - truly lovely colors.  I did change the color of the heart in the upper right from onyx to the pink.

Summer Alphabet Sampler - Progress

I am very much enjoying stitching this small sampler.  Progress is fast and smooth - even enjoying the borders as there is a certain "randomness" to the pattern that keeps me on my toes.  I think this will be something special when it is finished. 

Summer Alphabet Sampler

Though summer is fast winding down, this pattern called my name.  It is "Summer Alphabet Sampler" by Chessie and Me.  I shall stitch it on 35 count Weeks Dye Works Parchment linen using the Weeks Dye Works and Anchor floss as charted.
