Cross Stitch Season Samplers

I started the Summer Sampler some time in March of last year and finished it in August. After that, I immediately started the Autumn one, which I finished in January (the 2nd, so I didn't actually mean to lie with the date). I was almost hoping to have the Winter one be done around the time of that winter, and the spring one done in spring, but I haven't even finished the Winter border yet and it's April...




so cool! ti amazes me what can be done with a mere needle and some thread. Did you follow a pattern or was this all you? either way, it's still incredible.
Thanks! This was a set of four patterns from Teresa Wentzler, and she does absolutely amazing stuff. They're each a bucketload of work though - they only end up being about 8x5, but they're stitched on 28 count and there's entire scenes stitched over-one.
woah! so cool! i wish i had the talent and pacients to do something like that....
Gorgeous work! What are your plans for the finished set?
Thanks! I haven't decided. I'm going to have them all framed at once, and they'll be wall decorations, but I haven't decided if I'll rotate them depending on the season or keep them all up at once.
