Let the Wild Rumpus begin!!!

Martha Edlin is finished!

This is the spot section at the bottom of the sampler.

When you look at the elaborate bands she used earlier on the sampler, you forget she was a little girl--then you stitch the little dogs chasing each other up and down the cartouche with her name and date, and you remember. Oh, and the "R" in "Martha" is reversed.

I forced  sweetly requested Dearly Beloved to hold the whole thing up so you could see how long this sampler finally ended up.

It's a good thing I'm going to need to save my pennies to have Martha framed . . .it's going to take us awhile to figure out where we have a place to hang her up--and that last phrase sounds really weird, but at least you know what I mean.

And I am happy dancing the rest of the day.
