What do you do when you wake on Memorial Day to a power outage? Yep, power went out at 1:48 am, and wasn't expected to come back on until 4 pm - some sort of a problem in the overhead lines. First thing I did was roll back over and try to get some more sleep. Once that wouldn't work I took my stitching out to the back patio and settled in. The weather was gorgeous, and it was blissfully quiet.
I'm pleased to present a finished Jenny Bean Spring Sampler (or maybe we should call this the Margaret Leona Campbell Sampler).
For a picture of the whole thing, just look up on my blog header - I'm that proud of it!

You should be proud - it's a beautifully stitched sampler! I think I love the horses and the sheep the best!
Yes, you should be very proud! That sure is an awesome piece of work and such a personal accomplishment.
Congratulations!
I LOVE how you modified this sampler and got the whole alphabet on it! I'm with you - I want a complete alphabet on a sampler. Thanks for putting this as your header. I'm going to put it in my file for when I get going on this sampler. Your work is simply beautiful!
Congratulations, Mindi! I love the colours on that sampler!
A gorgeous finish.
What a gorgeous finish Mindi! I love it. It's so pretty.
Congratulations on a wonderful finish. I know that every time you look at this sampler you will think of your Grandmother.
I love the cherries :)
A lovely finish, congratulations!
How lovely...and such a fitting tribute to your dear grandmother!! And I love that you finished the alphabet (I would have had to do the same thing, LOL)...
Beautiful! Congratulations - you should be proud.
Love the finish - it's great how you've personalized it! I actually quite enjoy when the power goes out (during daylight hours) because then I can read and stitch in almost complete silence. It's amazing how much background noise all our electronics make.
What a lovely finish Mindi and perfect as a dedication to your grandmother.
A very special finish indeed!!
Gorgeous!!!! I love how you've personalized it too.
Gorgeous finish and a lovely dedication! Congrats!
