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.

Such a lovely sampler and the buttons are a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteI love samplers and this one is special! I would love to stitch this. Can you give me the name of it?
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by for a visit and for your kind words.
The original design is from Lori Markovic of La-D-Da.
I made several changes to the original design, so that it would
have a "sampler" feel and also to incorporate wool and some of
my antique buttons.
