Just finished Amy Mitten's Tudor Rose Mystery Sampler.

'cheated' in that I had all seven parts, and reorganized them so that I could stitch from the bottom to top. Originally it was organized so you stitched the first band at the bottom and then jumped to the top. Even with careful gridding I worried that I would be out somewhere, so I put them in the order they appeared on the sampler when complete. It was an interesting sampler to do since I had never done any needlelace, and there were lots of interesting stitches to try.



I also completed a little stumpwork piece which was a class at Guild. We did padded and raised strawberry covered with needlelace, separate stuffed strawberry which was stitched separately and them attached strawberry, a leaf on a slip, and the background stems, leaves and strawberry blossom.

I really like the Amy Mitten piece. And I agree, I'd wait until I had all the pieces too for fear I'd be off someplace. (kind of like I am on my beaded band sampler, but it's only one thread and it doesn't jump out at you....
