Last week, I picked up our first chart from Douglas Printing. Amy and Susan came to Janet's house for a stuffing party.The four of us, working three hours, packaged all of the charts and 2/3 of the cards. The printer had shorted us 1000 envelopes, so we had to stop before we were completely finished.
Robin Laukhuf of Olde Willow Stitchery distributed the charts and cards for us at the Nashville Needlework Market. I think we did well! Robin gave away 180 freebies.
Our chart has everything that I love as a stitcher: photos of both the original and the reproduction, suggestions for adaptations, a biography of the stitcher, info on the historical importance of Middle TN samplers, and a pretty photo of Williamson County. I think the chart is easy to read and handle. The color conversions for three different fiber lines will assist anyone wanting to switch to a different line.
Having a graphic designer (Susan) supervise the production really made this a professional product, worthy of the nominal price!
Proceeds from the sale of this chart will fund Tennessee Sampler Survey research.
