fccs’s Cheyenne finished May 2021
This is the design, chosen because my kids live in Cheyenne right now and I spend a lot of time up there.
My progress (stitched on 28 count Monaco, which I love)
I changed The Daddy of Them All to The Daddy of ‘em All because that’s how it’s worded on the CFD site. I might omit the foofy border (because it seems a little out of place) and the mountains at the top because they are the Grand Tetons, which cannot be seen from Cheyenne.

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne feb 2020
Love these Sampler/poster designs!
Re: fccs’s Cheyenne feb 2020
Great start — and very clever to do all the outlining first. As someone who never lived west of the Mississippi, I bow to your superior Grand Teton knowledge. The Rockies are, well, The Rockies to ignorant old me!
Re: fccs’s Cheyenne feb 2020
What a fun project this one will be. The outside border reminds me of a border I did on an afghan that had a Native American theme which may be what the pattern is going after, though it is a bit of a stretch. Like the changes you have made already!

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne mar 2020
I just finished one more motif on my Cheyenne sampler: the Governor’s Mansion. I really love this project, both the design itself and the fact that each little motif is (in my mind) a finish. And stitching things I’ve actually seen and visited is just an extra bonus.

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne mar 2020
This is looking great. It will be a wonderful, meaningful item all throughout the stitching and especially when complete.

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne mar 2020
I love it. Samplers like this are so much fun. Lots of little finishes (or not so little) and places and people you know. And you have stitched it beautifully!

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne mar 2020
I love your new project Debby
Lots of interesting little finishes and the design is brilliant. Looking forward to more updates.
I would not mind living in this governor's mansion. Beautiful stitching...

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne mar 2020
This is a great sampler to be working on: lots of little finishes and one BIG finish. Looks wonderful.

Re: fccs’s Cheyenne mar 2020
For some reason, I put the most recent update(s) in a different thread (my little guys, which this is definitely not) so I’m updating this thread. I’ve done more but right now I’m too lazy to get up and take a picture of it.

Good to see it alone with the other 2 motifs. You are making excellent progress with this interesting design.
