Counted Cross Stitch Sampler...


I love old samplers and purchased this pattern because of it's clean and simple design.  This piece was stitched on Linen.
 
I love adding wool to projects, so I customized the design
and added a wool panel at the bottom.
I also eliminated all of the stars except 4 and left only 2 of the many birds
that were on the original pattern.


My button jar held the vintage buttons I was
seeking for this project !  I attached the wool panel with French knots around the edges.
