Yikes, Stripes, Running Out of Time!!! The Stitching Bucket List

Melissa at Words and Blooms posted something that made me take pause and think.  She asked this question:

Paula and I were chatting about a stitching "bucket list". Let's say you have 20 good years left to do stitching and you could stitch one big thing a year. What would be your top 20 items? I would love to see this on your blog.

So, I got thinking about my Stitching Bucket List. And like Melissa, I went on a treasure hunt through my piles and piles of stitching goodies and came up with this list. I know it will change but many of these samplers have stood the test and stay right up there with the latest and greatest.  There are many more that I would love to stitch but these are on the "A" list.

Here are my 20 in no particular order. 

1. Ann Hull
2. Anne Grimshaw 1818
3. Rebecca Robinson
4. The Plantation Sampler
5. 1837 Crown Sampler
6. Ann Grant
7. The Seven Sheep Sampler
8. Anne Priest 1841
9. JoAnn Woodward
10. A Yuletide Sampler
11. Jane Harris
12. Jane Pattison
13. Mary Gibson 1824
14. Francis Eden
15. Hannah Pepper
16. Isabella Gray 1838
17. Isabella Fox
18. Weeping Tree Sampler
19. Lucy Redd
20. Ann Sims

Most of these samplers reside in my stash and some are WIPs.  I am hoping each of them will grace my walls.  It's been a dream of mine to have a whole wall of samplers.  I guess I better get busy!  I only have 20 good years left!
