In Honor of Darlene O'steen

 I read today on Facebook that Darlene O'Steen has died. My BAP was designed by her. Here is where I am right now.

I finished the third queen. 
This is the other sampler of Darlene O'Steen that I stitched. I'm going to cut it up and use it on two side panels of a casket. 

I used to be afraid I couldn't stitch a complicated sampler with specialty stitches. After working on two of hers I feel like I can handle stitching her samplers. I can change things to regular cross stitch in a pinch!

Today is a chemo day. The sun is shining and the fall colors are on full display.

    Beautiful stitching. So sad about Darlene. I had no idea she was only 67. For some reason I thought she was in her 80’s. The third queen looks like you.

    Beautiful pieces and so sad that the stitching world has lost one of its greatest. I can’t believe you are going to cut up the second sampler though on a casket it will be lovely. By the way, what is the same if that one please.
