Have a look-see at my new goodies!
Sunday I traveled over to The Sampler Girl’s website and ordered the On Travel with Jane Austen chart. I’m so excited about starting this sampler. I don’t have the model fabric but I was thinking about using something different. The model is done on 30 ct, but I was thinking of using 32 ct Parchment. This isn’t written in stone ~ brainstorming only at this point b/c that’s what I have in-stash.

That is a very pretty sampler isn't it. I bet it will look pretty on Parchment :)
yummy green fabric .. can't wait to see what you are stitching on it :)
