Masthead Image

The counted cross-stitch image shown above is called Aunt Lucy's Place. It reminds my husband of  an old homestead where he spent many happy hours as a child. Designed by Linda Meyers and originally called Autumn at Sinking Creek, it now hangs in our dining room. View a larger image of Aunt Lucy's Place.

Counted Cross Stitch Sampler - A Fisherman's Sampler

This Fisherman's Sampler is from Fields and Streams Vol III by R. W. Brownlee. The verse at the top of the sampler reads -

A Three - Pound Pull and a Five Pound Bite,
An Eight - Pound Jump and a Ten - Pound Fight,
A Twelve - Pound Bend to Your Pole - But Alas!
When you get him aboard He's a half Pound Bass.

The design was stitched on 14 count Fiddler's Lite Aida. Unfortunately I only took the picture before the project was framed and I did not measure the finished size.  The design area on 14 count measures 7 1/2" x 13". To that you add the mat and frame. This leaflet may also be out of print.
