I also got to celebrate another sampler finish. I put the final stitch into The ES Spot Motif Sampler last night. Don't you just love the birds and squirrel???

If you are a lover of The Scarlet Letter samplers or would like to be... be sure to check out Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year Challenge. I have a feeling I'm going to be adding many more samplers to my 'Must Stitch' list in the coming year. Why don't you register, join in on the fun and make new stitching friends.
I'll be working on this WIP and hope to have it completed by the end of 2012.

Laurie, what an inspiration you always are to me! Your cottage is lovely, as usual, and puts me in the mood to deck a few halls myself. ;) GORGEOUS spot sampler.. I never noticed how detailed that sampler is, despite the fact I have the chart.
Thank you for a gorgeous post!

Everything looks wonderful!!!
Everything is beautiful! Love your feather trees and ornaments and the Christmas samplers.
I think Emma has the right idea--taking a nap on a beautiful Christmas quilt.
Callie Mae is cracking the whip--must get back at it.
Laurie it all looks so beautiful, you have inspired me to start on the decorations this week, afterwards I will have to join Emma for a nap. LOL.
So glad you are sharing my Scarlet Letter Year especially as you and Margaret started my love of SL samplers.
Oh I love your stitchng, your blog very beautiful my dear !

Wow...your home is so beautiful. I love that Christmas quilt. My hubby gave me my Christmas present...a nexus 7 tablet early and your blog was the first I looked at with it:-)
Your puppy is adorable too. We love dogs and I have a service dog named Lila who is a German Shepherd Dog. They are wonderful friends and kids aren't they. Lovely stitching and I love the tree with all the ornaments. Maybe someday I will have enough to display.
Wow!!! Oh I love seeing your house all decorated! And your blog header -- so great! I love all your feather trees. I so need one. Everything looks so great. And your ES Spot Sampler -- OMG!!!! Soooo beautiful! I love your Emma Miles too. Another one I need to stitch. What a great post!!! Enjoy the Thanksgiving feast!

I love your stitching progress as well Laurie.... You sure are teasing me to go check out these samplers to buy!!! Take care my friend, Faye
Oh my gosh, Laurie!! Everything is amazing. You are such an inspiration. I know I'm going to be pulling up this blog post many times when it is time for me to deck the Hollow halls. LOVE your ES, too! Emma looks great as well--both your helper, of course, and your sampler. ;) Enjoy your Thanksgiving feast!
Your home is decorated beautifully! I need you to come do mine!!!
That is a unique squirrel! I love the border on this project. Your stitching is as beautiful as always.
Oh, I would love to see your house--such beautiful displays! Love the quilts and the samplers and all the ornaments.
I love your Christmas decoration, Laurie, so simple and beautiful..... The ES Spot Motif Sampler is gorgeous too, I don't think I had ever seen it before. Emma is a perfect choice for Nicola's challenge. I have joined it too and may go with Doña Dorothea since it is all kitted up.
I love all your trees! What a way you have with displaying such lovely stitchery.

What a beautiful post top to bottom! Love your wonderful motif sampler. Congrats on its finish!
All very, very pretty. I'm especially partial to feather trees myself - and awed at all the x-stitch ornaments you have created.
I loved the virtual tour of Corgi Cottage! What wonderful holiday decorations (and what a lot of stitching)! The ES Spot Sampler is beautiful and I will have to add it to my wish list.
So glad Owen is feeling better!
The cottage looks festive! The feather trees are beautiful. Love the new finish.
Your Christmas decorations look beautiful - a big inspiration to get some more small Christmas quilting projects on the table :) Hope the Corgis are well!
