Thanks again for all your kind words!

@ Oriettait: . And yes, you can use Anchor floss for it. The DMC floss numbers are also quoted, and I'm using these as I already had much of the quoted DMC floss (had bought these for previous stitching projects).

Oops, pressed the 'submit' button too soon . Hereby the promised photo update of the letter T...

After the letter S comes the letter T of tuinornament (= garden ornament) and terracotta (=terracotta). I started making a picture of the progress of each day in stead of the added colors (like I did for the letter S):


1. the way the T looked after day one


2. At the end of day two


After day 3.


After trying it for three days, I noticed I prefer to make a picture of each added color . So, here the progress comes with a picture of each added color:


dark blue added


dark green


medium green


another dark green color


light green


light blue


medium blue added


two missed orange/ brown stitches in the middle of the left pot


light green


finished with a bright yellow color


Next, I'll update the letter Y. I started working on this one only yesterday. I'm quite busy this week on the job hunting and Easter preparation front (and secretly also stitching my Cinderella project in a few spare hours ), so I'm afraid it will take a little time before I can post the update for the letter Y...

For now: happy stitching and happy Easter everyone!

This is such a gorgeous sampler, and you're stitching it beautifully!

Beautiful "T" This sampler gets prettier with each letter.

Carole

That looks great!!!!!!!

Very pretty update!

beautiful work!

Great work!!

I really like to see so many progress pictures! It's such fun. Feels like I'm right there with you!

(When I take my pictures like that, DH says I should put them together in a progress VIDEO. I'm not that talented, but maybe you are?)

Really nice work!

Beautiful work!

Fantastic update!

All of a sudden, I realised it's been over a year since I updated on the sampler. I'm soooo very sorry for the long overdue update!

First I would like to thank the lovely ladies for your kind and encouraging comments!
As Pattiebelle suggested

When I take my pictures like that, DH says I should put them together in a progress VIDEO. I'm not that talented, but maybe you are?

, I tried before but couldn't find a way to include a video. Does anyone know if it's possible and if so: how to do that?

Because it's been so long since I showed you the progress, I'll start with a little recap.

My goal is finishing this sampler before my fathers birthday:


My progress up to early March 2013:


So the letters R, S, T, Y & Z needed to be stitched. I've posted the progress pictures of the R, S and T before.
The R is of rhubarb:


The S of snoeischaar (=secateurs/ pruning scissors), schop (=shovel), spitvork (=digging fork), schep (=scoop), and schaar (= scissors):


The T is of tuinornament (= garden ornament) and terracotta (=terracotta):



So, as I allready had stitched the letters u, v, w & x, the next one I started on was the Y of IJslandse papaver (iceland poppy) and IJzeren hek (iron gate).


1. start of the poppy


2. finished the flower head


3. start of the iron gate


4.


5.


6. Start of the leaves


7.


8.


9. Finished the Y so far; the text and backstitching/ detailling will I do later on...


To prevent this post the contain to much information/ pictures, the progress of the final letter Z will be in the next post. The Z is of zonnebloem (sun flower) and zomerkoninkjes (strawberry)

Look forward to your comments, and again: I'm sorry for the long wait!

Beautiful update!! You are making wonderful progress1

Carole

Oh my, this is SO lovely! I can't wait to see it finished. Please share how you finish it as well.

Christy

Thank you Carole and Christy!
I will share the finish as well. Shall I also post a picture here of my father with the gift?

Probably at the end of this week/ start of next week I can post some progress pictures of the letter Z

Thank you again,
Annemarie

This is beautiful and you're making wonderful progress! I love the fabric as well.

Christy
