Emma Rose Finished :)

I truly enjoyed this lovely sampler. I omitted the word loved and the tiny heart under my granny's name as I have been talking with my grandmother and my great aunt and they are going to give me some tiny buttons from her clothing that I can sew to the sampler in their place to make it SO VERY SPECIAL. I hope to find the perfect frame soon!!

Fibers: DMC
Start Date: 2-12-2011

I am impressed at how focused you stayed on this project. You have inspired me to press on with my x-stitch piece I am doing for my daughter - you can see it on my blog.
I am changing the name from Rose Hill Plantation to "Smith Hill Plantation" and EST 2010 which is when they were married
Thanks
Love your new project as well

Jan said...

Goodness, this finish makes my heart sore!! It is spectacular, BEE and I am SO pleased that you took my advise and made the sampler your own! What a treasure this will be to hand down to future generations in your family!!

You did a truly beautiful job, and the DMC conversion worked up great. Even though the NPI silks it was charted with looks beautiful too! Just another decision and personal preference for each stitcher to make! I love it and you!!!!!

love and big hugs, scoob
