Desiderata finis

May 28, 2008

The completed sampler.  It got a little cut off on the bottom, but I ain’t scanning again! lol  I took so many fruitless photos.  This is plenty good for me. :o  

Vitals:
Desiderata designed by Catherine Strickler of Indigo Rose
Stitched on 32-ct Antique White linen using recommended silks.
Minor changes in spacing of text and wording to reflect copyrighted version

Here’s my webshots link, in case you see a broken picture.  I’m having a devil of a time today.  The picture shows up in the editor, then disappears.

  1. Well, it is finally done and is a most beautiful accomplishment! Your stitching is just beautiful. Truly wonderful and I love the verses! The dragon and Desiderata are now both complete, so what is the next big undertaking? Major congrats to you!

  9. Hi Zoomcity! Thanks for commenting on my imho post. Actually, I have never been to your blog before. I truly love this piece, it is gorgeous! Great Work!

    I truly am not trying to offend anyone by my imho post but just had to get some things off of my heart and you’re right, I didn’t put a photo on that one because I didn’t feel that it would be on topic but good point. I put photos on almost every post though because in a stitching blog, folks want to see what it is that is the topic of the post… a picture is worth a thousand words.

    Peace


  10. Wow! It’s beautiful. You should be so proud of yourself!!!
