The People's Choice SAL

2020 The People's Choice SAL

Having fallen into this SAL - following Jo at Serendipitous Stitching who was asking about Modern Samplers.
I have a lot of traditional samplers as it turns out, but I feel a modern sampler can still hold parts of traditional samplers, but without the biblical verse.
Well I was dipping into my basket of finishes, looking for items to show for the Easter Blog Hop (come back here on 10th April) and I found these  items....

Quiet Please, stitched in 2013 was, from memory an online freebie.  I stitched it in dark and light olive green DMC and I think needle necessities variegated.  The fabric is more vibrant yellow than shown here (pic taken under lamplight) and the variegated is similar in shading to gum leaves.

Coffee - well this was most definitely an online freebie... and was finished when I had a different surname in December 2004 - a lifetime ago and I've yet to finish the design.  

How could I have forgotten my own design?  I designed this and released the pattern on 123 Stitch.com way back in 2007.  I've used this sentiment again on another, more traditional sampler later in the same year.
 
I think, after rifling through my finishes basket, that I might make a few cushions and wee ornaments over the Easter weekend and empty the basket somewhat

Don't forget to come back on the 10th - I don't know yet just what I'll be sharing....  This will be my first blog-hop!
