My choices for my all on one piece sampler is:
28 ct. evenweave ~ I am using MCG Textiles evenweave and used my Bake and Basted Recipe as in my written tutorial from 2009, however my blog was corrupted so please see Priscilla Blain's video on YouTube as she learned from me and does it the exact same way I did.
The size I cut my fabric was very generous and it measures 23 inches x 23 inches
I am using all Classic Colorworks over-dyed cottons.
I am using all the called for colors with the exception of:
Used Brick - I changed to - Cherry Cobbler
Blue Corn - I changed to - Blacksmith Blue
(Reason? I have three other patriotic samplers in my "patriotic room" that uses these colors)
Would you like the border too? Please click on the link HERE... which will take you to my Google Drive and you may download and print the chart FREE....however let's please remember - this chart of my work is given with my compliments BUT of course...please remember to give credit, where credit is due. Crediting my name (Vonna Pfeiffer, The Twisted Stitcher) gives my time, effort and work that I put into that border credit, and believe me with the amount of time it took creating it and then sharing it freely with the world, a simple attribution to where you got it is a simple act of kindness in return on your part. Thank you. Sharing is caring and I share because I care, but it hurts my feelings when people take and use me then don't credit the artist that created it. Thank you for understanding.
(The stars look gray so that you could see them-but should be stitched in Classic Colorworks Eggshell)
