Quaker Samplers - Help!

Ok, I'm smitten! I've just discovered Quaker samplers and I *love* them.

I just missed out on a chart on eBay - the auction ended in the middle of the night here so I couldn't keep an eye on it and I was a bit over-cautious with my highest bid. Now I could kick myself, especially as I can't seem to find this particular chart anywhere. It was from Threads Through Time and was just called The Quaker Sampler (no date). I've seen Quaker Sampler 2000,

2001, 2003, 2004 (oddly no 2002) but not the one I'm looking for.

The picture on eBay wasn't very clear but *my* sampler has the alphabet and a few numbers twice in the top 1/3. The bottom 2/3 has a few half-medalions around the edges and something I can't make out in the middle, all in shades of green. The sampler measures 9.75" by 9.5" on 25-count linen.

Does anyone here recognise this sampler? Do you have the chart? Can I buy it?? Naturally, in my searching I've found loads more I like but this one really sang to me (it was probably the green).

TIA!!

I love them too, but don't recognize this one off hand.

Keep watching Ebay, you never know when something will turn up again! I know I lost a figurine of Rapunzel I wanted 5 or 6 times before I got lucky enough to win it at the price I had set for myself!

You might want to try Wyndham Needleworks -- they seem to have most of her designs. Also, if you call they could possibly help you find the one you're looking for. They have 7 pages of her designs:

Nancy is no longer publishing any reproduction samplers. All of the items on Wyndham Needleworks are silk gauze. They are great and easy to stitch.

You may want to write to Nancy directly and see if she has any of your sampler left. She has been giving away all of her charts. You just have to send her a self addressed envelope. She is not honoring specific orders.

If you email me directly I will send you her address. Not comfortable posting a private address on UseNet
