Samplers & Such
I think I'm about halfway finished with the Mystery Sampler that I've been working on. I'm having so much fun stitching it that I hardly want to do anything else!
And speaking of cross stitch -- I spent a little of my birthday money on some Blackbird Designs stuff. I got a kit for Strawberry Garden and I bought the great new book (more like a booklet, but very nicely done) from Blackbird Designs too -- With Needle and Thread. There are a few designs in here that I could definitly see myself stitching. My favorite is this one:
It's called My Quaker House. There's also a simple alphabet sampler and a monochrome design that I like quite a bit -- there are even a few pinkeeps!
I also just downloaded the trial version of PC Stitch Pro -- I'm thinking of designing a few cross stitch charts myself and I'm looking forward to playing around with this software. Does anyone have any experience with any cross stitch software? I'm really curious to hear your opinions.
I've used PC Stitch and was happy with the results. I haven't been cross-stitching as intensely for a few years so I haven't used it in a while. I did some research though and that was the software I liked - of course I can't remember the exact reasons.

Beautiful sampler!
No experience with the software, but good luck!

Oh the mystery sampler is turning out just beautifully. Can't wait to see what project you will do next.

Beautiful cross stitch pieces. Where did you get your sampler and/or where do you get your kits? I love Blackbird Designs.
