As we all stitch samplers from The Scarlett Letter, I continue to have a truer appreciation of the tireless work young girls from the 1800's put into samplers that have stood the test of time.... Rebecca was no exception.....
...here is a picture walk of my progress...
...please click photos for a better view....
Although it will undoubtedly take me the majority of 2013 to stitch dear Rebecca (... Yes, she is HUGE...), I am loving each and every honeysuckle blossom along the way....
Hope you are somewhere safe, warm and stitching.......
Peace,
Faye

Oh my goodness this is beautiful! I can't wait to watch your progress on this. I have added you to my reader so I can keep up with you throughout the year.
I love, love that it has honeysuckle on it. Reminds me so much of the south....
Blessings and hugs and keep that needle moving! :)
What a beautiful piece Faye. I would never attempt anything like that. Happy stitching.

You're making GREAT progress. And it is looking lovely so far.
I stitched that lovely sampler a few years ago and it is truly wonderful! You will LOVE the finished product! Enjoy! MJ
Faye, oh my gosh!! I love that, what a gorgeous sampler! You've made wonderful progress. I love the border!
Such a beautiful sampler... what a gorgeous border. And your stitching is lovely - enjoy this wonderful journey.
She's a beauty Faye!
It is fabulous! You have really tempted me with this one! But I have vowed to work on UFOs this year and try to resist where I can. Since this is such a large piece, it makes it easier!
I have several pieces on the 'long term' list as well. You keep plugging away, they eventually get finished! Laura
I love watching your progress on Rebecca... she's such a gorgeous sampler.
How pretty! It looks so intricate.

Rebecca Robinson is a great choice for Nicola's SAL. And you mad a nice progress on it. This honeysuckle border is truely catching the eye.
very nice
This is going to be a nice piece to follow with you....
That's beautiful Faye, looking forward to seeing more.
This will be fun to watch. She is a beauty thus far.
I have had a recent interest in the history of samplers and the lives of the young girls who stitched them. I read "The History Of Samplers" from front to back. Great book!
That's a beautiful sampler. Your progress is terrific considering you only started it on December! It would take me forever to get that far.
~hugs
That is one gorgeous sampler, Faye! I can't believe all you've done on it just since mid-December!! Do you ever sleep?!
Wishing you and your guys a bright and happy New Year!
Beautiful stitching progress on Rebecca, Faye. I love that the honeysuckle border flowers are different colors. So, you're going to pace yourself and 'make it last' are you? LoL
I think that everyone that stitches should stitch on a reproduction sampler at one point in time. Simply because of the beauty of each and also to learn the history. Your Rebecca is coming along very nicely! :-) I've chosen SDW, but have not started on it yet...
Great progress. I am planning on stitching Janet Burnet this year. Like you I am expecting it to take the best part of the year. I look forward to watching your progress
Love Rebecca! Beautiful colors!
Stunning - love that you started in the lower corner. Looking forward to watching your progress.
Oh this is so pretty... What a great job... I cant wait yo see the progress this year.
Just gorgeous!! Love the colors!
She's lovely! Can't wait to see your progress throughout the year.
Happy New Year!
Rebecca is beautiful and you've made great progress! Honeysuckle borders are my favorite. :)

Oh wow, she's so, so pretty!!!!!!

wow! That is a lot of progress since Dec 15th! Turbo stitcher! It is quite a lovely piece! I should get out John Foster 1885 Sampler--my first repro sampler. I have fabby and the chart, just havent pulled colors yet. I look forward to seeing your progress! Hugs!
Gorgeous. What colours.
Happy New Year!! I love see your beautiful works and I hope continue to inspire us in 2013.
Hugs!
Love the border! Your stitching is beautiful.
Faye, I have been following you blog and enjoying your beautiful work. I was wondering if you finish projects for anyone? I have three Christmas ornaments that I would love to have professionally finished. I am just not good at it!
Gorgeous !!!
This is GORGEOUS!!! I have yet to stitch one of these big sampler but I have seen some originals and I'm amazed at the work that went into them.
