I'd...ooh, I like the Hillside finish, just lovely. <BR/><BR/>I'd definately suggest a Sweetheart Tree sampler - the one I stitched recently was the to Have and to Hold one and I was quite surprised that it stitched up relatively quickly. The Love Sampler would be a good choice, any of their samplers could be adapted to suit what colours, style, you'd prefer. Happy choosing :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588922164281693735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22248609.post-1159709097261600662006-10-01T14:24:00.000+01:002006-10-01T14:24:00.000+01:00I'm currently stitching Papillon Creation's Love w...I'm currently stitching Papillon Creation's <A HREF="https://www.stitchingbitsandbobs.com/cgi-bin/showimage.cgi?PapillonCreations0LoveWithACapitalL1850" REL="nofollow">Love with a Capital L</A> as a wedding sampler for myself and my fiance. It's a fairly large piece though (260 x 434 stitches)! I'm doing it over one on 25 count. (There's a recent pic on my blog.)<BR/><BR/>I stitched Lorri Birmingham's <A HREF="http://www3.telus.net/cmv/Stitching/Finished/V&J%20Sampler.jpg" REL="nofollow">This Day I Will Marry</A> for friends who got married 4 years ago and it's beautiful. Again, it's a fairly decent-sized piece though (8" x 17" on 28 ct).Christine Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655168720624467508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22248609.post-1159704644335551042006-10-01T13:10:00.000+01:002006-10-01T13:10:00.000+01:00Love your recent finishes and WIPs!

But for what it's worth www.puntiantichi.com has a couple of 'love' samplers 'Love Reigns' and 'Love and Gentle Heart' both look lovely but may be too large. Or how about some of the Celtic designs - I did look but there are so many out there!

My favorite idea is Karen's suggestion to use a M Design monochrome letter. Your color choice could make it light and cheery or heavy and formal. Just a thought.

Great work!<BR/><BR/>As for wedding samplers, I am very partial to several of the Sweetheart Tree ones. They are smaller pieces (so travel well) and can be done in a shorter time frame but very intricate and delicate looking also. In fact I just saw a finished one yesterday that a friend had just had framed and it was lovely.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194880509630916177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22248609.post-1159171880404432782006-09-25T09:11:00.000+01:002006-09-25T09:11:00.000+01:00I don't really have a suggestion for a sampler, I ...I don't really have a suggestion for a sampler, I bet whatever you choose will be lovely.

It looks beautiful but relatively quick. I stitched Teresa Wentzler's Wedding sampler a couple of years ago, and that's lovely, but it's not a quick stitch. Or how about The Token by Long Dog designs? Would they like a quaker style? Or something folksy like The Trilogy's Cardiology? Not really weddingy but could be adapted. They do a Wedding Spot too that's very small. Or Victoria Sampler - bigger again and more complicated, but they have quite a few wedding/love designs :)<BR/><BR/>That's a beautiful bit of patchwork Federica did and I love the Mira cherub. And your Pine stitching is lovely.<BR/><BR/>I used to be a one-at-a-timer. Then I found online stores and other people's blogs... ;)Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197475715635764985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22248609.post-1159133503937475462006-09-24T22:31:00.000+01:002006-09-24T22:31:00.000+01:00I've always like a freebie Passione Ricamo has on ...I've always like a freebie Passione Ricamo has on their site of 2 birs with a ribbon and heart.
