Three months to do a sampler

nishatalithaHave sat the first exam - Introduction to Legal Systems - and my brain is resenting the idea of getting back into studying straight away. Still, I've had the afternoon and part of the evening off and will start looking at stupid bloody Trust Accounts and conveyancing statement stuff soon.
Have spoken to my brother and the future sister-in-law and there has been a decision made on the type of sampler, and the specific one if possible. She would like this one, my brother also likes it and of the two they liked best, I like this one the best, so if I can get the pattern, I shall do this. Unfortunately, it's only available as a kitset and I would really rather not have to buy the kitset if possible; for one thing it has to come all the way from the UK! I have emailed them to ask if I could purchase it as a .pdf pattern only so I can choose my own colours and fabrics as I'd rather not have the shipping time to wait and the leftover threads (I would use the leftover fabric). Also, I want to work on linen or evenweave, not aida.
I totally plan to change the colours; her bridesmaids' dresses are going to be in this limey green, apparently, so the bridesmaids on the sampler would be in that colour, and I shall get her to send me a fabric sample so I can match it. Or get her to give me the DMC number, but the former would be easier. I'm also thinking about a pale pink background or some other pale but interesting colour other than beige.
My other project is going well; I am nearly half way through the black, but it will, of course, be put aside for the new one. The nice thing about the new one is that it should be pretty easy to do and get framed in the timeframe available to me.
