Winterwoods Sampler

My Winterwoods Sampler is framed!  I have loved this project.  I felt like I was in a crafting slump over the summer.  I really wanted to have a project, but nothing was hitting the right note.

I took this slow.  I worked on it while homeschooling, sitting in a Dave Ramsey class we took at church, and watching movies in the evening.

One of the reasons why I think I liked this sampler so much is that I could just stitch one little part and feel like I "completed" something.  I didn't put myself on a schedule and just stitched when I felt like it.      I really wanted to enjoy the process.  Sometimes that is not very easy for me to do.  *cough* ;0)

I have never framed a cross stitch before, so I asked some ladies at our quilt guild if they had any recommendations.  I ended up using a Pres on mounting board.  I tried looking for it at some of our local craft stores, but I couldn't find anything bigger than 8" x 10". So, I got one off of Amazon.  (Oh, how I love thee, Amazon.) It took me a few tries to get it positioned right but was quite easy to do.

 A big thank you to Ginny and Grace for starting this stitch along.

    Was it a pattern or did you create it yourself?

    If it was a pattern could you pass on a link?

    Great job stitching it and taking time to enjoy the process!
