Cherry Tree Sampler...


I love samplers.  There is just something quaint 
and "old time" about them. 
They're timeless...

Cherry Tree Sampler is a Punchneedle Design.
It measures approximately
9 in. x 6.5 in.
(22.86cm x 16.51cm)




The letters and numbers 
are punched with one row.

TIP: To make your letters and numbers
crisp and 'clean', keep your punches
VERY close together.
When finished punching, use the tip of your needle 
to gently nudge any stray loops into place.




Gorgeous warm Valdani colors...
Black Sea ~ Cape Cod Cottage
Bronze ~ Weathered Hay




This Punchneedle pattern is available in my Studio.
The pattern includes instructions 
to make a 16 inch pillow...

No sewing machine is needed...
the pillow is all handwork ;)




I used my favorite finish for the edges -
a Beaded Blanket Stitch...




with a wool cherry applique for the back of the pillow.

Wishing you a warm and cozy evening...
Rose

  8. HI Rose - I love alphabet samplers too! Back in the day that I did lots of cross stitch I SO wish I had done alphabet samplers instead of geese! Then they'd still be welcome to hang in my home because they're timeless - sigh! I love the houndstooth check you mounted this piece on - really sets it off nicely! And your beaded edge is always fabulous. Nice!
