Christian's Sampler
This one has the family's initials under the alphabet in the original sampler-I would also include our family's initials if I were to stitch this sampler.

I am taking it a bit easy today as I hurt my arm yesterday picking up my little niece and my shoulder is screaming at me today so I haven't been able to stitch :( I guess I can do more organizing and clearing out :)
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by for a visit :)
hugs and love from SC :)

Ouch! Hope your arm gets better fast! I love those samplers you've found -- they're all beautiful!
I LOVE those books! My grandmother volunteers in a second hand bookstore and scoops them up for me... I'm almost 100% sure I have those ones in my pile too :)
Hope your shoulder feels better quickly!!
Oh I love Mary's sampler the best! Which books are these in? I'm the same way about my hard back books. I forget I even have them sometimes. Same thing with my magazines. I should go through them and pick a few things to stitch.
Oh Becky these are gorgoeus. Would you consider selling or loaning out the books?
Sandy
I just found you blog and have enjoyed reading it. I want to make a blog someday, just need to figure out how to post pics.

Hope your arm and shoulder get better soon - there is nothing like stitching!
Happy Stitching!
So sorry about your shoulder! Mine is screaming as well, so I can honestly empathize. I'll pray for grace for you, if you'll pray for grace for me!
I hope your shoulder will be mend soon. Beautiful samplers! Especially the first one. :) Take care, Becky.
wow, your needleworks are really lovely, wonderful colours!
Manuela
This book is incredible - Mary's Sampler is too gorgeous!!
Beautiful! Beautiful!
Wow! Great finds!!
Every once in awhile I look through my stash especially old books & magazines and find something wonderful like that. Most likely at the time I received them I wasn't into that particular style or whatever but now it is something I am into.
It is always good to look back at what you have :)
I hope your shoulder feels better! My right one has been killing me for a few months now but I am in the middle of a Fibro attack so that is why.
Hugs
So pretty, but I think I like Margaret best! :D
So sorry that you hurt your shoulder!! That's the pits.
Those are some beautiful samplers! Which one will you stitch first?
xoxo
All three samplers are lovely.
Of course I like the third one best :)
Margaret
Love the samplers! Sorry you can't stitch today.
Hope your shoulder/arm heal quickly. At least you can go through all your stash - I love doing that! x
Isn't it fun to clean things out and find something you'd forgotten you had; it's almost like Christmas. LOL
Hugs, Shar
All three samplers are so pretty! I was doing this same thing about a month ago, and I hope I stitch the samplers I found before I forget about them again! Hope your shoulder feels as good as new very soon!
Hope you arm feels better soon:)))
Love the samplers. Isn't it fun to go through old stash?!
HUGS to you.
ooo hope your shoulder feels better soon .... but if you can't stitch some stash perusing will help ;) think I like the third one best of the samplers .... mmmm might have to have a look through my small stash of books :) love mouse xxx
Good idea to take it easy while your shoulder heals. I once had several books, they were Christmas themed. Think I auctioned them off... cause I don't do Santa anymore. Now I need to search for some of those sampler ones, cause they are timeless and beautiful! Hugs.
Hope your shoulder feels better soon! I was at our local library a couple of nights ago and discovered that they have a stash of those golden oldie cross-stitch books!
Becky
All samplers are beautiful... but Mary's Sampler is my favorite one!!! I love the colors! Which books are these in? I hope your shoulder gets better soon!
Hugs
Wow, those are just lovely samplers! What a find!
I hope your shoulder feels better soon!
I'm so sorry that you hurt yourself! I love the samplers that you found. Isn't it fun to find little treasures that you didn't realize you had?
They're all wonderful samplers Becky! I have many of those hardcover books too and I always forget about checking them for a design. Seeing these I think I ought to drag mine out!
I hope you're shoulder is feeling much better now and you're back to stitching again.
Isn't it fun to go thru books that you haven't looked at in a while?!!
It's wonderful!! Yep, I have all of the LA books, BHG and many more!! I even have JCS issues fromthe 80's before they started the ornie issues!! love your finish on the PS!!! Take care of that shoulder!!!
Ellen
Ouch! Take care of that arm! A bit of time healing is worth gold. Isn't that the MOST wonderful thing about organizing and purging - the finds that you've 'forgotten' were there? Love to do that! You've really been on the purge lately! Oh, how I need to do that in my craft room... Hopefully coming soon. Take care and enjoy spring! Your neighbor in RH.
I hope you're back on stitching form very soon. What beautiful samplers, I especially like the last one. Have fun with all your re-organising :)
I'm sorry about your arm, Becky - I hope it's feeling better soon.
I love Mary's Sampler!
