To be framed...
The other change is the addition of the clouds around the angels. Ellen and Jana from my guild were also stitching this and we decided we'd like to distinguish ours somehow. Our guild had a lovely lecture on Norfolk samplers last year. We learned that one of the characteristics you find are angels in clouds! The idea was struck and there you are.
We laughed that 100 years from now some historian is going to wonder about our three samplers and try to find meaning to the angels in the clouds. Tee hee!!

Awesome work Lisa! Congrats.
what a Fantastic first finish of 2015 it is Lisa ! You rock - I admire you for persevering on Snooty even after getting behind. I haven't picked mine up in many months. Maybe soon the notion will strike me again. However now market stuff is coming along (sigh) - hope you have a great week ! Congrats Mel

Happy dancing for you! Such a beautiful finish!
Congratulations! It looks amazing!
I'm so happy for you, Lisa--that is a huge sampler and I can't even imagine how many hours you spent on it! It is truly stunning :) Congratulations!
Congratulations! I think what I like is that there are several stories in this sampler. There is Adam and Eve, an alphabet, the parrots,the cloud angels, and the house and family complete with sheep and bunnies. I hope you intend to post once you have this amazing samper framed.
Fabulous finish!! I'm still plugging away at mine but still plan to have a happy dance by the end of the year! Laura
Congratulations on the Happy Dance for the Snooty Parrots. It really is a great sampler and you have made it your own.
I wonder if future historians will be studying our blog transcripts and wondering about the lives of the women who stitched these samplers!
Congratulations! You are to be commended for sticking with it. That was a lot of work. I can't imagine working on such a high count fabric.
Congrats Lisa!! That is a big finish! It looks great! And the personalization of the angels is too special! Yay!!!
