What is the Family Sampler?

I'm glad you asked!  The Family Sampler is one part do-it-yourself sampler and nine parts Diane did most of the work for you! 

The snippet on the left is Nikki and me. . . . of course many years ago but that's how I chose to portray our family.  See the dog?  That's one of three in the design and we do have a few different breeds for you. 

We provide the people, dogs, cats, alphabet, large surname initial and the entire background (and it's big!).  You supply the family, your personal color choices for skin and hair and a bit of lay-out know-how.  You don't need much but you do need to be able to cut and paste or graph the elements we provide for you in the chart pack.  Let this be a warning to anyone who says "can't".  You will need to find someone who "can" so you will be able to finish this chart.  I was just talking to my local LNS owner today and she is going to have a class there so we can teach you how to do it if you feel a bit unsure (or if you just want to come and eat snacks with us).  So call Susan at The Busy Needle in Tucson and tell her if you are interested in a get-together some Saturday in September (I think).  Right Susan? 

So that's snippet one. . . . . . .a few more will come out in the days ahead.  And would you believe that not one winner has contacted me yet?  You may be a winner yet!
