Still Stitch Strolling in May.....(138)

As promised, here is the second "oldie but goodie" bell pull. Again, it was stitched in 1984 but I don't remember the name of the chart or designer. I can picture the front of the chart, but that's about all. It looks like I split the aida threads to "lay" the bargello work and it turned out pretty darn good!!!  (Updated--after a google search, I found the chart and it's called Keepsake Samplers --- thanks Maria S of Ontario and Joanie)





Hope you are keeping cool wherever you are.....90's here today....YUCK!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

    What a fabulous looking bell pull! Some of the older designs are true classics. I agree with you on the Yuck with the temperatures.

    I stitched this back in 1984 too, it was the 2nd piece I ever cross stitched. It's from a Leisure Arts pattern book entitled Samplers. I stitched a small band sampler from this book also.
