Ann Dale Update
Finished center verse & Added: red border between verse and motif on right side, 2 motifs, bottom border all across under verse and motifs, lengthened red wave border on right side. I did iron my sampler before I took the photos. No wonder when a sampler is all stretched and framed it looks so much better.
Will finish the dash border to red wave border - YES so far the red wave border are aligns perfectly with the motifs and the dash border. I'm thrilled and thankful -LOL.
On December 29th 2013 I finished "Victorian Merry Christmas" by Nancy Turner
Finished stitching the border December 31st - "Mary's Sampler" by Paulette Stewart
Overall I had 2 more finishes for 2013. Sorry if the photos seem dark. I actually dragged out my ironing board in the backyard and laid the samplers on top. The sun was out and shinning. Only problem (now that I discovered afterwards) was that I stood and photographed the samplers standing towards the sun. My eyes were dilated so at the time I thought I was doing a good job -LOL. Lesson learned. Next time I will have the sun behind me. I love seeing everyone's new starts for the new years. I do have lots of projects planned for 2014 but Ann Dale is making me happy right now stitching her.
With Love and Appreciation - Annette

You certainly got a lot done on your sampler. Congrats on your finishes! Nancy's charts are so nice! I started the border on Mary's Sampler but then it got put aside.

Wonderful progress on the sampler and the finishes.
Terrific progress! The Victorian Christmas is very, very nice.; different, I like it. Happy stitching into the new year. No new starts for me yet, several to finish first.
