Just arrived today are two new Cross Stitch items from Lizzie Kate!! Stop by and get started on your holiday projects! We have “No Act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted” and “Jingle all the way!”
We just got in Part 2 of the Lizzie Kate Mystery Sampler!! Be sure and stop by and get your part 2 and bring what you have done and show it off to us!!
Below is a special note from Lizzie Kate regarding a few mistakes they found on the Mystery Sampler:
Yes, even though it’s a Mystery Sampler and no one has seen a picture of the completed project, these alert stitchers spotted a couple little errors. Thank goodness they are small, and even if not corrected, would not adversely affect the finished sampler. But, inquiring minds, and stitchers, want to know!
I sent an emergency note to my webmaster, and she posted the corrections on the L*K website. www.lizziekate.com/corrections.html. Here they are:
* On the left hand border, the square block stitched in Oscar (next to the word “be”) should be 16 stitches (a perfect square) instead of the 12 stitches shown on graph. Refer to the upper left corner block for correct graph. All little “Oscar squares” should be 16 stitches, wherever they appear on the Mystery Sampler.
* The 3rd row contains a row of flowers. On Chart 1 graph, the 1st and 3rd flower straight stitches are incorrectly graphed. They should be stitched like the flowers on stitch illustration – with all straight stitches pointing towards the center. Refer to the instructions on this stitch illustration for colors for flower petals and flower centers. This correction is only relevant for linen stitchers, not Aida stitchers.
HONESTLY…if I had already finished these little parts, I would not rip them out. I love antique samplers, and they are full of little quirks and inconsistencies. That’s what makes them naive, personal and valuable!
