I had been in the hospital recently and when I got out, I was looking for something to stitch that was new, and fun. This "Many Years Sampler" caught my eye. It's a free SAL, and I am enjoying it so much. My only problem is figuring out what colors are in this mystery thread from Vikki Clayton. It is not garnet. I have ordered a spool and garnet is much darker than this one. This has more of a rose tone to it, but when stitched on this fabric it actually looks 'red'. And it's two shades in this spool, a dark red and a bright red, at least that is how it appears on the fabric. To look at the spool, you'd probably call the 'red' color in it raspberry or rose. Hopefully I can find a match to it so I can create my own spool for this. I really do like this color!!
Below is a link of other versions of the same sampler by different stitchers, the colors are lovely and as you can see it just gets better. I am only on part 1 so far, these photos include up to part 4.
