Here’s A Sampler

stitching

Years ago, when counted cross stitching was the thing to do, I worked on this sampler to commemorate my marriage and family.  Long before green was the in thing, I selected this beautiful sage green for the matte to frame my handiwork.  For about the past 18 years, this has hung in my bedroom in a place of honor.  I still rather love it to this day. 

Part of me hopes that long after I am gone, one of my children will love it as well.

I love cross stitching. That is a beautiful family piece.
Counted cross stitch was my favorite hobby for years. I gave away more than I kept. This is a lovely keepsake that your children are sure to cherish in the years to come.

I've done cross stitching in the past and appreciate the amount of work that went into this. I have a smaller sampler that I've hung in my house. Every time I look at it, it brings back a memory of better times.

Oh, yes, I recall when counted-cross stitch was in! I subscribed to XStitch magazine for several years and they are stuffed away in a closet. Your sampler is lovely!
