It all began with a birthday plaid. Right away there was trouble! Instructions? I don't need instructions, I've done tons of these. Yes dear, said the little voice, but that was 20 years ago. No problem I said and began to stitch. Before long unintelligible mumblings could be heard, ending with where's that damned book. My first effort at this was so bad I actually threw it away and started over! I had the brilliant (NOT) idea of a little sampler type thing of men's suiting fabrics, all black & white with just a touch of red. There sure are a lot of stitches in a 5" square!!
Anyway, it's finished now. I think it will become a standup with easel back--all in red. Yes, I see that the long threads in the red,black,white windowpane need to be straightened.
My design, mostly floss and pearl cotton. 18-count. No, the pattern will not be available

It looks great! I can tell by your tone that you're so done with this.
Love it!
It does look great. And I can see Liz doesn't want to do this any more! LOL
This is really a very cool design. Did all the patterns come from one book? Can you say which one? Thanks.
Sorry Brenda, but I made up all of the patterns except the argyle and the houndstooth. And I think I found the argyle on Pinterest and the houndstooth on somebody's website.
This is gorgeous. a great sampler of patterns.
