I’m so happy to see you on here again Christina. Your exclusive sampler is a stunner and I have no doubt it will be a hugely popular addition to everyone’s stash when you release it.

In my world, no type of cookie should be in the same container as another! Especially ones with strong spices like gingerbread!
I have not finished your Black Sampler 2021 so I really appreciate the updated file. It did work exactly as you said it would!
Your Halloween exchanges have all been beautiful.

Oh wow, Martha Martin is stunning!! No wonder you smile whenever you see her 😊. Good to see you too. Take care.

Finally, someone else with a stitching with white grudge! 😆 it drives me potty.
Martha Martin is amazing, I loved it when the Sampler Guild showed and am so pleased she will be available for us all. X

The Rocky Mountain project is beautiful.
Hope to see you again before Christmas.

Martha is FABULOUS!! I can’t wait until you release her ❤️❤️❤️

[marleenoceanbreeze]

Nice to spend some time with you and look at your pretty stitching. That huge sampler you did for the Rocky Guild is gorgeous. I also love the one you did to honour your grandmother, and it's very kind that you've offered it at no charge. Take care, and happy stitching.

Yay! Both April and you in one morning! Made my day! How can you love stitching gingerbread men but like ginger snaps?!? So nice catching up.

[marciaclifford]

Good to see you again! Martha Martin is gorgeous! Looking forward to your release.

[maureenlopez]

I was so happy to see you again! I love hearing your stories about your family and also the girls behind the samplers. I have very fond memories of time spent with my grandmother too.😊

Definitely no mixing in the biscuit barrel but I am partial to a ginger nut biscuit. I spent my 1st 3 years living with my mum and grandparents while my dad did his National Service. I loved them dearly and still miss them now. I am now a grandparent and like your mum cannot go too long before seeing the little ones. Thank you for the freebie and the new sampler is lovely.

[luciabeaumier]

Glad to see you back on floss tube. Martha Martin is just beautiful and I can’t wait for its release.

[susangriffin]

Thank you for the lovely sampler honoring your grandmother. Your upcoming release shared today is amazing.
