Here's my freestyle sampler that I'm stitching along with Teresa. As you can see, I went a little overboard in this one little patch. Hopefully as I fill in other areas it will balance out. We'll see.
My birthday month starts Monday and I really do want to do the 39 squares project. I even started a blog for it. If you want to play along, click over there and leave a comment in the first post and I'll add you to the blogroll. It's just one tiny little postage-stamp square a day...you can do it! (Even if you've already commented here that you want to play along, submit a comment there too so I'll have it all together.)
I've been gathering some pictures of past grid-samplers and I found these taken of the one I made for a friend as a swap. I'm thinking that my birthday sampler will have this same look and feel...fun, light, bright, super happy.
Are you inspired yet? I can't wait to do my first square!

absolutely beautiful. I love how free and whimsical it is. Makes me want to pick up needlepoint!
Hi Amy, yes this sampler is light,bright and happy. And, it makes me happy every time I gaze upon it as it's mine, mine,mine!!!!
I adore it and continue to be amazed at your beautiful handwork as I cannot begin to match it.
It went to a happy home and is doing well and said to say "hi" to mom the creator.
Hugs, Jody
