Hannah Gilpin Beautifully Finished by Teresa in California

I gasped when I saw this incredibly graceful finish to Hannah Gilpin's sampler which was stitched by Teresa. I have to say Hannah Gilpin's sampler is probably my favourite simply because of its lovely restrained palette of warm shades of grey-brown. Teresa says: I have my beautiful Hannah Gilpin sampler back from the framer. The frame is a perfect compliment to the embroidery. I am so happy with it. This is the largest needlework project I have ever attempted. It's taken me about 18 months or so to complete. I lost a lot of stitching time last summer due to my thumb injury. Otherwise, I continually stitched on it every free moment. This was not one of my many projects that was started and then put aside!

Teresa adds: I hope anyone who takes up this sampler or is currently stitching it enjoys it as much as I did. And here we can have a closer peek at that fabulous frame which is so perfect a companion for this superb heirloom sampler. Thank you for sharing your truly inspirational work, Teresa. We hope that your thumb is better now.
