Layout of the sampler
Vonna emailed me this morning and she said there were some stitchers on her blog concerned about odd numbers of people in the sampler and that maybe I should provide a peek into an arrangement. So here you go! I have provided you with a few fill-in elements if you don't have pets. And by the way. . . . . there are six dogs and three cats on the elements page to choose from.
If there are any more questions, just post them here, subscribe to the thread and I'll answer as soon as I can!
Oh Diane, this is going on my Must Have list! Even if mine only contains me, my pup and my kitty! :)
ReplyDeleteOf course I could always try for the whole fam damily, as my father used to say. Do you think I could squeeze a Mom, Dad and 9 children?
LOL
Okay, I guess I could always do one for each of my siblings families. :)
This is such an exciting pattern - I think you covered just about every possible family variation there might be! Thank you soooo much!
ReplyDeleteI cannot *WAIT* until this comes out! :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is just FANTASTIC Diane! What a way to make something special for your family :o) I love the way you can personalize it and you've really come up with some great ideas. I do have one question though...what about a bunny? :o)
ReplyDeleteOh dear. . . . I didn't include a bunny! But I know right where you can pick a few up: Lavender's Blue and Morning Berries. . . . .both pattern have bunnies so look in your stash!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this information! This is definitely going on my WANT list! I never thought about adding pets (duh!).

omg i think i am going to burst with excitement before i get this chart cos Im in the UK and it will be ages coming over the water boo hoo
ReplyDeleteKathy it's funny that you should post to this thread. If you look at my sampler you'll see three dogs but only Gracie is still alive. I can so totally see you adding dogs from "then" and "now"! And you'll see too in the pack, you can add fencing to fill in gaps. Or maybe two of you. . . . .one young, one older with ALL of your pets! In the place of the surname you could put "FAMILY" or even your first name.
ReplyDeleteI'm somewhat patiently waiting for this to hit the shops...hehe I'm thinking of putting my husband & me on one side of the tree and our three kids on the other. With an added motif on the left, two adults should balance three kids.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the hare in Herb Garden! I like his fluffy white tail. :-)
I simply love this design and I think it's wonderful how you've made it to suit all family situations. Great ideas you've given also. What a winner this one is!
ReplyDeleteDiane, It is a beautiful sampler and I thank you for trying to make everybody happy. I love the fact that there are doggies, as I have no children, so now, I will definitely buy this sampler and stitch it !!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I never thought of that! Of course I have one (or both) of those patterns so that will work perfectly :o) I also like the idea of putting past puppies on your sampler. It's almost been a year since Brie has been gone but I still miss her dearly.
ReplyDeletehi! I 'm waiting for this sampler to arrive also in Italy.
ReplyDeleteIt would be grateful to have near my husband, my daughter and my 2 " little" cats ok 10 and 8 kg also my little turtle " Pina".
