A finish.

I picked up Little House Needlework's 'Be Merry-Belle Pepper' on the spur of the moment while between 'A Year In Chalk' pieces.

I worked on it a little here and there then decided to finish it this past weekend.

This is where I started the weekend....


...and this is where I ended.


I replaced the name at the bottom of the sampler with the word 'Christmas' as charted in the pattern as an alternative.  The name 'Belle Pepper' just seemed weird.

I did leave the year of 1823 since I have no artistic skill or vision and couldn't decide on an alternative.

In the end I like how all the colors came together and look forward to getting it framed.

Happy Stitching.
