It's finished already couple of days, but it was quite busy here and bad weather, so it took me a while to take pictures....
I'm so happy about this finish. Still busy with my happy dance. It's hanging on my floor frame - on display in the lounge and right now I'm mentally not ready to take it off there to put the next one on. :)
Please overlook any visible dog toys in the back. My Jack Russel pulls them faster out then I can store them away in the basket. She thinks it's our daily game.
Emma Miles didn't get started yet because I'm rethinking the fabric I have for her and will probably dye it myself.
So I went to my basket and Ellen Birdseye jumped right into my arms. Changing her colors though. Stealing bits and pieces from others who had made their own conversions. Using some of their changes, added some salt of my own, and hopefully it will turn out well.
Time will show...

Congratulations Gabi on a wonderful finish. I just love, love the colors of it!! I guess I should pull out my pattern. I've had it for years and never touched it. I guess it takes seeing a beautiful finish to make you think about doing it!
I have said it on Sampler World and I will say it again. THIS IS GORGEOUS. Congratulations on such a fabulous finish. AND if we do get Attic Needlework or Vermillion to make it available again, will you share your conversion? PLEASE!
Gorgeous finish Gabi!! Looks like you are off to a great start on Ellen B. as well.

I now see that you are considering Emma and started Ellen. So, full attention to Ellen :)
Beautiful finish Gabi!
Congrats! On your finiished sampler, it is a beauty and the colors are just gorgeous
Congratulations on finishing this stunning sampler. It is really lovely and has been on my "to do" list for years. I first saw this sampler a long time ago probably about 15 years ago at Ribbons and Rainbows in Blackheath. It was a Elsa Williams sampler. You could buy it as a kit. I was always sorry that I never bought it at the time, but was very happy years later when I found the chart again. - Sandra.
What a beautiful sampler. So many rich colors. Gorgeous flowers and elements. I enlarged and studied all the photos and enjoyed them.
Breathe taking!! Fantastic job!!!
Congrats on a beautiful finish! Love all the bright colors!
Oh my, your Wisdom Sampler is so beautiful and sweet!
Congratulation on the finish!
Hugs,

Gabi, what a tremendous success and beautiful piece. I didn't know you had a Jack - I adored my Jack Russell; they are just THE BEST dogs.
Congrats on the Happy Dance. I love the bright colours in this sampler, it's lovely.
I have a child like your Jack Russell, everything HAS to live on the floor - toys, magazines, cushions, towels, laundry etc!
How beautiful finish!!
