This was such a fun stitch. I think I found the freebie on Thurs. of last week. I knew right away I had to stitch it. I have been waiting for the perfect piece for a special sampler. This was the one!!!!!! So, I started it on Friday & finished it this am.
I chose my favorite three colors to stitch it. I used Victorian Motto Sampler Flosses. I used # 120 for the green, I used varigated violet for the purple & I used rose pink#5 for the pink.
I tea/coffee dyed my fabric. The motifs in it symbolize myself & the person who will receive this piece someday. It will not be for a while thou!!!! (after I am no longer around!!!)
Thanks for looking & have a great day!

I'm looking for it - where did you find it? Thanks!
Great stitching! That is really cute and you done so well! Love the colors!
This is the second time i have encounter this one tonight and still don't know where is it from.
I love the fabric colour you have used and great colour choices.
Congrats on the quick finish.
Are you entering the contest - I see they only have two entries this far . . .
Lovely finish!
I adore this! Okay, I'm going to gather up supplies and start mine.
I love, love, love this color combination, Shari. And whomever receives this piece will have a lovely treasure from a lovely person. Great job, Shari!
You did a beautiful job...your colors are so springy and pretty!
GORGEOUS!!! Love your fabric and floss choices!!! Congrats girl!
Beautiful finish. I want to stitch this piece using Vonna's idea which is to add my grandmother's name and DOB to the piece, but I won't get it started just yet. I can't settle on a color to stitch it in and I'm thinking I want some darker brown dyed fabric. Maybe I'll find something to inspire me on the hop next week.
Happy Stitching!
Pretty colours you have chosen for this Shari.
I really love this stitching, Sari!! Congrats. I love how you changed colours. I have finshed it too but in red and pink! Your one is so original! Well done!
