So, here is Sampler Roundy all finished up and ready to go live abroad :) I do so hope the person I send this to will like it. I wanted to keep the "character" of the cheese box, so I forewent staining or painting it and left it natural. The label is still on the bottom as well. I think I will stitch this one again for another regular visitor to my blog and finish it in the same manner.

The box turned out beautifully. This gives me great inspiration, saving, every bit of packaging (like cheese and chocolate boxes) to turn them into stunning cross stitch objects.
Nice progress on your sampler.
Beautiful finish Becky! I like it a lot ;-))
Beautiful as always hun; hope you enjoy your company...man would I ever LOVE to visit you for a month...you'd have to run my bags thru a xray machine like at the airport..LOL Hope your mom is doing well..
Hugs, Shar
What cute, cute fabric you used to line your round. It is wonderfully stitched of course but I love your finishing. You do such beautiful work.
Love the cheese box ~ and it fits perfectly on it too! Wonderful stitching & finishing as always :)
What a unique finish Becky! The fabric you used inside the box is fabulous. I also love how you stage your photos with so many interesting items around the finish. Those Valdani floss for example. This may be a dumb question but what are the items to the right of your finish?
Becky, what a day you had!!! I don't like driving in the fog either, very scarey!! But I'm glad your visitor arrived safe and well, and hope you manage to catch up with your sleep.
Enjoy your friends visit, a month is a long time, I'm sure you'll have a great time!!
The Sampler Round is perfect, love the fabric inside, whoever receives it will be so lucky, and happy!!
And AaHRH is looking good, maybe, just maybe when I've finished my WIP I might just get this one, it really does look stunning.
Just to let you know, Tweety Pie is coming on a treat!!!!
Have a great time with your friend.
Love and hugs to your Mom x

lovely box:)The Sampler Round is perfect for it.
What a lovely round box! Stitching is so beautiful!
Good luck with your stitching for the next month!
Hugs,
Tatyana
How is your Mum?
I love the box and the design you have stitched for it.
A month is a long time to entertain someone, are they into needlework?
Oh Becky I love it - love its character x
A gorgeous finish - love the fabric you lined the box with.
Your sampler roundy is a great finish.
i love the box so much..very sweet finish..
your wip is looking super sweet..
hugs cucki xx
The box finish is perfect! You must be so pleased with how it turned out. Loving the look of Block 8 so far too. I hope you have a great time with your guest. Best wishes.
very nice finish....someone will be pleased..
enjoy your company, now that they have arrived...I would have been a stressed out mess waiting so late...
Beautiful box finish Becky. Somebody is going to be so lucky to receive this!
Just wondering how your Mom is?
Beautiful finish! I know it will be cherished when it reaches it's new destination.
Autumn is looking great!
Please update us on your Mom :)
That is such a pretty finish! And how clever to think of covering a cheese box. I bet I could even tackle that one! Off to buy some camembert!
HRH is really coming along quickly! Your stitching is perfect.
The round box finish turned out excellent! What a fabulous idea! :)
Beautiful finish, as always. You certainly have had a very busy start to the new year. At least not being on the computer as often will certainly give you a chance to destress. Having a visitor for a month can be a challenge as well as a blessing, so enjoy.
As another person said looking at different packaging in another light.
Prayers for you and your Mom.
You are so very creative. The box is beautiful.
I'm so glad you arrived back home safely after driving in that fog. Driving in that and pouring rain scares me too.
Have a wonderful time enjoying your company...we will all be here when you are able to come back to us.
Your box is really very pretty,a gorgeous finish. I like Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow more and more .
what a great finish, Becky! I just love that you made this out of a brie box. Love all the trim too. Whoever receives it is sure to love it. Enjoy your time with your guest. Have a wonderful day!
wow...beautiful box Becky
You did a beautiful job on the box/sampler. The recipient will be very lucky.
Your "Farms" is coming along beautifully too.
Enjoy your visit with your friend.
Beautiful finish Becky!! I love the idea of using the Brie box!! AaHRH is looking wonderful too! I really want to start it this year! :)
The box turned out beautifully, I love the bright fabric on the inside, what a nice surprise when you open it! Good luck with your month long visitor, praying for you and your family

A lovely finish..inspiring. I hae put 'brie on my shopping list!
Your finish looks great. Nice progress on your block.
I love how it came out! Beautiful! Such a bummer about the planes being so delayed for you and your guest. I hope you have a great month long visit!
I hope your visit goes better than the travel day :o)...I can understand your frustration there.
What a lovely finish, Becky! You are such an inspiration to the rest of us...
And I love the progress on AaHRH...gorgeous!!
I've always liked the Sampler Roundy pattern - great finish Becky. I like the idea of using those cheese boxes too. You will be done with AaHRH in no time at all I know, it's looking great. I hope you have a nice month visiting with your houseguest!
Becky your box finish is beautiful. I really love the way you've finished it. Whoever receives it will love it I am sure.
AaHRH is looking fantastic!
You've had some gorgeous finishes recently, congratulations

The box turned out super cute Becky! Nice job! I'm enjoying watching your progress on your HRH piece, it's coming along beautifully. Enjoy your visit with your company.
Becky - I couldn't wait to see that Brie box finished! What a great idea. I was just thinking about this with the little Laughing Cow Cheese Spread boxes. Although, they're not wooden and would only be good display pieces. This is so lovely. Thx for the idea. Love your other piece and so sorry your visit started off in the wrong direction. Hopefully you all will enjoy your company and forget about that nightmare drive.
Jannie
The finished cheese box looks wonderful! Such a great idea!
I hope you enjoy your visitor's company Becky. :)
Wonderful finish! I'm sure the lucky recipient is going to love this.
Love your finish!! What a perfect reuse of the box! Enjoy your visit with your company!
Becky,
This turned out beautifully. You are so talented.
Thomasina
Awesome finish.Have fun with your visitor and post to your blog when you can.
What a wonderful surprise for someone. I don't think I have ever seen a cheese box? Hmm - will need to explore the grocery store a little more closely. It is a very cute finish and I love the lining fabric.
Enjoy your visitor and I bet you will make huge progress on your BAP.
Very nice finish! I went out yesterday and bought brie cheese (never had it before!) so I can do a project and use the box. Turns out the cheese is delicious so it worked well! I'm working on a big project, too, and think I will take a break for a little one. I see you do that. I think it's a good way to not get tired of one project.
oooo gosh just catching up ... hope your visitor has arrived safely now ... love your cheese box beautiful finish :) and well done on your Hawk run ... its looking gorgeous ... hope you manage to get some more stitched ... off to try and get some now I've got puppy sitters back :) love mouse xxxx
Hi Becky, I just found your blog. WOW you are the kind of stitcher I would love to be. I used to stitch, like 20yrs. ago & I'm getting back into it. To see what I've been missing for just the past 2 yrs. I was looking back on your beautiful blog. I'll never catch up but I just wanted you to know I appreciate your stitchings. warm bee-hugs, Debby (Wis)
Your rounder is beautiful. Have fun with your visitor.
Your Roundy turned out beautiful.
Such a pretty piece
Gorgeous finish, Becky--I know the recipient will be thrilled :) Nice progress on AatHRH, too--I should really start mine some day, soon!!
Gorgeous, I just love boxes! Great progress on your wip!
Hugs,
Another perfect finish Becky! I have been drooling over this design for ages and think it's about time I stitched it up :)
AAHRH looks great too. Enjoy your time with your guest :)
Both very nice, Becky! Your overseas "fan" is sure to enjoy!
I agree that being on the computer when you have guests is rude. So we'll miss you, but we know it's just for a short time while you enjoy time with family and friends.
You will have a huge post of progress when you return and we'll be looking forward to that. :-)
I love that pattern and your finish is so gorgeous! As always, you enhance the project beautifully!
Have a wonderful time with your visitor!
Blessings - Julie

Hi from Alaska,
I have a question. Do you put your work in a hoop or do you do it with the cloth unbound? Thank you for the inspiration. My e-mail is harmesd@yahoo.com. Love and hugs back at you!
I love how the Sampler Roundy turned out with the cheese box, I'll have to keep that in mind next time I have some brie.
I hear you about being behind with blogs and email, at least you have a valid reason with a guest, I'm just behind!
I'm sorry that the weather forced your guest to arrive later than expected and messed up your day; it sounds like you have a nice long visit planned.
I love your sampler roundy - it's really pretty, and I bet the lucky lady who receives it will be thrilled!
Have a wonderful weekend, Becky!
Someone is going to be happy when they rceive your SP Sampler Roundy. Love it.
