Stitch Guide for Needle's Prayse Queen Sampler - The Queen sampler is once again available after being out of print for many years. I took the Queen Sampler as a class from Darleen O'Steen in 2000. While taking the class Darleen encouraged us to make changes in the sampler to suit ourselves. I changed several colors and added in many stitches. This stitch guide covers all of that. It also has a guide to the colors Darleen used and the colors from today's dye lots that match Darleen's original colors. 

Best Christmas Blessing - worked in cross stitch over two and cross stitch over one. There is an alternative alphabet used for the blessing that allows the design to be worked in all cross stitch over two.
