I've profiled Kristine Kingston here before, but mostly I talked about her stitch guides and her blog. Today I can show off some of Kristine's custom collegiate luggage tags, thanks to Diane who ordered three. Kristine does lots of custom designs for folks, but these are especially wonderful mementos of college life.

The Sampler Collector UPDATED
Carolyn Hedge Baird takes us on a tour of her sampler collection and those of her friends, ranging from old samplers on linen to modern painted needlepoint versions. This inspired me to go looking for painted canvas versions of samplers, both vintage and modern.
