Yesterday was a good mail day. I can’t remember if I mentioned all these charts when I ordered them or not. I love them. I went through them all last night and tried to put them in order of which ones I’d do first, second, third, etc. Can’t. I love them all. I want them all finished NOW.
I should apologize for the photos with the shiny glare because I was too lazy to remove them from the plastic bag but honestly, I was trying to be quick and not draw attention to how many new charts I had received.
I could see me doing this one first. It’s Forever and Ever by With Thy Needle and Thread. The copyright is 2019 so it isn’t brand new, nor is it terribly old.
This one is Stars and Stripes by With Thy Needle & Thread. I could see doing it first, especially since it looks pretty easy.
This one is Liberty House by With Thy Needle & Thread. I could see me doing it first since it’s small and looks easy.
This one is Liberty – 1776 by Little House Needleworks. It’s also small nad definitely looks quick. I could see it being done first.
The rest of these are larger but I love them all so much.
The picture on the cover is dark and I couldn’t easily get it to be much lighter. This is Summer at Hollyberry Farm. I love this!
Liberty’s Welcome by Plum Street Sampler.
Little Red Chair Sampler by The Scarlett House.
Vintage Flowers by Jeannette Douglas. I thought this was a new one but it’s from 2016. I’ve been seeing this one on flosstubes. I go look at it, put it in my cart, take it out, then think I NEED it so now . . I have it.
Last – Noel Sampler by With Thy Needle and Thread. I think this one would be pretty quick to make – maybe have it done by Christmas 2022. Or maybe by . . no . . I want it for sure for 2022.
I really need to spend more time stitching and less time shopping but I think that’s something I’ve said before!

With all the stitchery charts, fabric and yarn you will have to live three lifetimes to use it all up! But you will never be bored!
Judy Laquidara says
That’s true but, IF I don’t use it all, I hope someone else will enjoy it. I’ve loved finding it, buying it, opening the packages when they arrive and I won’t be upset at all that I leave so much behind.

I like all of these but I especially like the Little Red Chair. If you put a ruler by them then we can tell how small/large they are. Thanks for sharing.
Judy Laquidara says
It’s a little different with cross stitching because if you take a piece that’s 300 stitches by 300 stitches and stitch it on 28 count line, it will be about 21.5″ x 21.5″. If you stitch it on 40 count linen, it will be 15″ x 15″. Also, there’s no uniformity as to whether a photo is taken up close or some distance away, and that has a huge bearing on whether a piece looks larger or smaller. The only true way to have a good guestimate as to size is to do the stitch calculator using the count fabric that will be used. I’ve had several piece I saw other had made, even framed and thought they were much larger or smaller than they really are.

Oh my, all wonderful! Love Hollyberry Farm and Little Red Chair.
Eileen Emerson says
You had me chuckling Judy as you were sharing your haul and saying I may do this since it looks easy, oh this one is small and easy, ohhh I love this one, HAHAHAHA. you crack me up and it’s nice visiting with you. Happy Stitching.
Judy Laquidara says
I love all the new charts (and all the old charts) and just cannot stitch quickly enough.
