This is just perfect!You can count me in. I was wondering what to start next and then your post appeared. I checked and I have all but one of the required floss so I can hardly wait to get started. Our church parish is St. Luke’s Anglican (Episcopal in the U.S.) so it’s great that this is based partly on the gospel of St. Luke. I would love to have it done for the holidays.

Anja
Dear Paulette,
that is fantastic! I am so excited and would like to be a part of that. Thank you so much.
I have to comment here, because I think that I am the only one in the world, who does not know how fa…ook is working. I made some experiments, but it was more or less coincidence, that there is something on my side. (But I will not ask my children, no, I will try myself.)
Your stitching friend Anja

Thank you so much for this! I already know I will love it. I have stitched some of your work already, I have Gloriana framed and hanging in my bedroom. I am so pleased that you are keeping this one focused on the real reason for Christmas – Christ, and for naming it Mary’s Sampler. I am so looking forward to this, and plan to stitch it in the chapel where I work after my work hours. What a lovely way to count the days until Thanksgiving! Christ’s Peace, Shari Witt
