And here is a photo of the finished piece:
With the dozens of samplers that I have stitched, I have never once used my name or the actual date. I decided it was time! The needlepunched button box was made by Betty Dekat, and is a favorite treasure. Also in the photo is a hand-carved wooden quail made by my friend Janelle's father, and the tiny skeleton key belonged to my Grandmother.
I'm not sure how I will finish the sampler. I usually frame them, but maybe this time I'll make it into something else...
There is still time for you all to get in on the contest... follow the link above to the Blackbird Designs blog to get the free chart and details.

A great start and I saw the finish on BBD blog. It's a beautiful sampler! Now if only I can stitch one in time to enter the contest!
Beth, hi there,
I've just seen your pretty interpretation of this sampler on the Blackbirds blog. The colours are so lovely.
Best wishes Angela

I think this contest is pretty cool. Not a lot of them like this out there. I saw your finished sampler on Alma's blog and you did a really, really nice job, Beth. I was surprised too that you haven't put your name on your pieces before. You have such a cool name too. It's like out of a storybook: Beth Twist. I love it! LOL
Love your version of BBD sampler :)
