We had a VERY busy weekend, so I was only able to finish this design. Maybe tonight (after I recover from outdoor birthday party!) I will be able to sit down and stitch a little bit before an early bedtime!
Happy stitching!

Blackbird Freebie finished!
I jumped on this band wagon like 3 weeks ago...but I only finished this design yesterday! Oh well...but I did finish in time for the contest. This the the sampler freebie found here on Blackbird Designs' blog. I definitely had a fun time stitching this one! I personalized it for my favorite great-grandparent...my MaMa. Her name was Merle Mandart, and she was born in 1901. Her favorite color was purple and she loved flowers and had them all over her house. To this day, I still think about her and wish that she could have been around to meet my husband and my children. She would have loved them!

That looks great Dianne. It's so nice that you stitched it in honor of your grandma.
I like that quilt top you made, and the apron is so cute. I bookmarked it and may even try it one day!
It looks great and so sweet dedicating that to your grandmother. I also like the color that you chose to stitch this with instead of the red.
That is a great finish!!!!
Congrats on finishing his on time for the contest, it's really pretty!
What a pretty rendition of this famous sampler! Your thread color reminds me of blackberries...I love those things!
So beautiful. I chose purple also. Your grandma would be very proud.
This is a beautiful version of this design.
Each and every version of this sweet sampler is gorgeous! How Alma and Barb are going to choose a winner I do not know!
Very pretty, Dianne! I love what you did between the last number and your grandmother's name. What fabric did you use?
Another wonderful version of this piece.
Very nice version of the BBD sampler!
Hope this weekend you'll have some time to stitch and relax! Not sure that will happen for me, but I'd better not complain since I just got back from Victoria. :D
Beautiful! Wasn't this a fun stitch? I also chose to stitch mine in honor of my grandmother. Love the color you chose!
This is a really beautiful finish! :D
