Victorian Rose Sampler by Victoria Sampler
Taupe Cashel linen (28 count)
Stitched with AVAS, Silk Mori, Waterlilies

A beautiful little bellpull and sugarplum ornament by another of my favorite designers, Victoria Sampler.

Yesterday was more productive than expected:  I finished the pinkeep!

The choice of thread is left up to the stitcher; I used Threadgatherer Silk ‘N Colors “In The Burgundy”.  Although a pouch for the pinkeep is pictured on the kit and instructions for making the pouch are included, the materials to make it are not.  It would have been nice if the pouch linen and button had been part of the kit but I may get around to making the pouch later.
