A Tribute to Sue Gastler from Terri (aka Bronzemom)
This quote "She wrought so well in Needleworke that she nor yet her Worke shall ere forgotten be." is from John Taylor, 1630. I thought it fit well our beloeved Sue Gastler who was a wonderful designer, needleartist, and friend. Through her many designs, she's left a lasting legacy for all needleworkers -- we'll never forget her or her beautiful designs. I charted this to be stitched OVER ONE at the bottom of A New Beginning (Abbey Lane Designs)-- or may be stitched OVER TWO to replace one of the larger motifs in the center of the design. I left the color choice up to the individual stitcher.

123 Aussie 2007 Sampler SAL
This is my gift to my stitchings friends from 123 - In particular the Aussie contingent who understand the phrase "Smile & Point your toes!" Please have fun with this design - feel free to use whatever colours will suit your decor or whim. I can see the border stitched in vibrant hand-dyed variegated threads rather than the two colours it has been charted in. There is plenty of space if you wish to add charms or buttons and it shouldn't be too intense for even the novice stitcher to complete. The verse is truly heartfelt: "When I count Life's greatest riches, I count my friends who count their stitches."
