I know all the work that goes into them. I have a sampler that I made years ago in browns and rust tones. Haven't even pulled it out since we moved into this home 5 years ago. I think I need to. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks for sharing with SYC.<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-43103237478506374262015-04-01T19:00:19.405-05:002015-04-01T19:00:19.405-05:00Debra, The sampler is beautiful.

I spent many hours making samplers on fine linen back in the day, but they were mostly given as gifts, so I only have a few simple ones that I held onto. Somebody put a lot of painstaking hours into creating yours and it's the perfect spring accent piece on your hall table. How wonderful that your hubby can frame it for you! <br /><br />I think every little finished corner of a home is cause for celebration! Enjoy yours, Debra!Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-16743500626373568372015-03-29T09:22:42.388-05:002015-03-29T09:22:42.388-05:00Beautiful vignette.

Maybe I've just missed them or didn't want to pay price for it. I saw in a magazine one time, a whole wall of samplers, like a gallery of them. Looked so pretty. I used to do needlework but eyes and hands don't do too well anymore. Yours is very nicely done. Will you frame it under glass to keep it clean? <br />Have great weekendsrpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-37158863186896285912015-03-28T21:58:50.206-05:002015-03-28T21:58:50.206-05:00PS: I shared a sampler on my newest post.

The time, the precise stitches..the painstakingly precision of counting....love, love, love. I do counted cross stitch, so when I find an old sampler, at a good price, I buy it. Yours is just so cute! I can see why you fell in love with it. Like Claudia said, it was meant to go home with you. <br /><br />Sweet Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585280807777813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-21050652583044814972015-03-28T20:35:52.475-05:002015-03-28T20:35:52.475-05:00Beautiful sampler.

I got up to "S" and stopped. I think I actually burnt out from all the cross stitch I did non-stop. I still have it and should really finish it.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-63545710888059104882015-03-28T16:20:02.586-05:002015-03-28T16:20:02.586-05:00Lovely sampler, Debra.
