The Bluebird Sampler by Cecelia Turner of Heart in Hand Needleart is the 2nd one in this series.
I selected a piece of 16ct mystery aida I had in my stash that was a mottled tan and blue. I am stitching with Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Delft Blue floss. The stitch count is 118×40 with a finished size of 7.35″ x 2.5″. The beads were included with the chart.
Now I just need to get busy and fully finish this one. I had already stitched the Redbird Sampler back in 2019. And I have the Hummingbird Sampler on order.
I used the same backing fabric as used for the trim on the bottom.
Your photos were missing in the last few emails…not sure why. But I do like those little samplers and I would love to see your results in the future!
What a pretty piece! Love the floss and fabric combination along with the chosen finishing fabric, Pat.
