September might have been the month to work on samplers, but I'm oozing over into October with my stitching. And this weekend was the perfect time, since I have three different sampler guilds that meet online, all on one weekend.
Yesterday was the Mayflower group. It's a delightful group, and the program highlighted the stitching journey of one of the members. While it was going on, I was filling in buds and blooms on Ann Kemp.
However, it is October, so I suppose ghostly threads are appropriate.
Today, I just left the Kindred Spirits Guild, and will soon enter the Sampler Guild of the Rockies meeting. I started a new band on Darlene O'Steen's Queen Sampler, and this is how far I got during Kindred Spirits.
I'm a little ahead of the assignment for this month, but since I can't fill in the spiral trellis grapes until I take the sampler off the scroll rods, I figure that's OK.
And, yes, I do belong to a fair number of sampler guilds. When we moved, I had to leave my beloved Carolina Sampler Guild behind. There isn't a sampler guild in this area, so I may have overcompensated by joining as many as I could find online. However, each group offers something different--and it's all needlework so I'm getting my fix. Sometimes several times over in the course of a few days.
I'm not going to mention the EGA chapters I have also joined since we moved . . . let's just say that I can now get inspiration from three different EGA regions and leave it at that.
Dearly Beloved mutters about addictions. I have no idea what he's talking about.
