Birds of a Feather Mystery Sampler Club

This isn't a repro sampler, but it is something that I wouldn't normally do. It's designed by Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle & Thread.

I took advantage of their pre-order discount. Maybe I'll keep up with this one. HA! But wish me luck.

I'm noticing a personal movement towards repros

I've bought a few reproduction charts over the decades. I've even stitched a few. But in the last week I've bought TWO reproduction sampler charts. Today I orders Lisi Sloboda 1828 by Hawkins House.

I love that the borders are different from each other and that there is a lobster in the motif section. How quirky is that?! The count is 319 x 257 and it uses WDW (DMC conversion).

I ordered Vol. 63 of SANQ for the cover design of a reproduction. Gorgeous!
