Mystery Samplers

Here are the shop models that were in the back room at Country Sampler.  We did ask permission to take a picture.  I think this may be the shipping room.  It sure was glorious back there with all the models.  When I saw this Sweet Land of Liberty I stopped in my tracks and proclaimed that I would put aside every other thing I was working on to be able to stitch this.  

Of course I am sure it is long out of print.  We think it is by Hinzeit.  I can't find it anywhere.  If anyone has this chart and would like to sell or loan it, please let me know.  I am having heart palpitations just looking at the picture again!!!!



My friend Patti spied this beauty on the wall.  It looks like a Carriage House Samplings design; but I am not sure.  Does anyone know who it is by and if we might be able to find it for sale somewhere?  

Thanks to all the junior detectives who are willing to analyze this highly important data!!!!!!  The search is on!!!!

Happy weekend to everyone!  Thank you for so many wonderful comments on my blog this past week.  Each comment means the world to me!

I so wish I could help you out... but I don't have either design in my collection. Best of luck on the hunt!

Oh, you bad girl. Now I'm going to waste countless hours on the net looking too, although I know there's no point. Don't have them. Want them!

Karin said...

Christmas Farm is from Barrick Samplers and the top one is definitely from Hinzeit. :-) I have been hunting them down for a few days already...no luck so far!

Ditto on everything Glenna said LOL
Seriously, I think you should contact the shop that you visited. They may have the charts in a back room somewhere.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon as well!
Don't know what the top one is but really, really want it! The second on is CHS 2000 Christmas Sampler and is still available. Would love to know if you find the first one and I will do the same! Laura

Maybe you should contact the designer about the Land of Liberty chart. You never know she may have one she'd be willing to sell.

Maybe they put the name of the chart and the design company on the back of the finished piece? Perhaps you could contact them and ask if this happened? Lovely looking shop and you all appeared to have a great great time! Maria S. Waterloo, Ontario

That is a beautiful design!

Tell the designer of the Lady Liberty that you have a bunch of people who want the chart - maybe they would do a re-printing of it. Loved the photos and recaps of the weekend - nothing like being there but it helps to be included from afar. Melody

Hi Laura, Not sure how I came about to this older post, I think thru Pinterest. You may have already found it by now, but if you are still looking for this pattern I think it is available through Stitch and Frog... https://stitchandfrog.com/cross-stitch/sweet-land-liberty-1
