The heartfelt sampler above is from Carriage House Samplings called A Friendship Sampler. What a lot of possibilities! Wouldn't this make a great "round robin" project for your stitching group? Or a family tree sampler? The model pictured here has a real lock of someone's hair lovingly stitched to the center. You could do the same, or leave it out. I thought it was appropriate for Valentine's Day approaching!
There are many other "from the heart" patterns and books for you to choose from, including Notforgotten Farm's Heartfelt book, Need'l Love's Folk Heart Threads, Stone & Thread's recent "Be Mine" needlepunch, a needlepunch pattern from Carriage House Samplings titled "1824 Valentine Bird" just to name a very few.
Speaking of affairs of the heart, please keep good thoughts for my mother who will be undergoing an angioplasty on Valentine's Day, of all days! Hopefully this is a good omen! I'll be traveling down to Massachusetts mid-week to be there with her for a few days. So, any orders placed Wednesday through Friday this week will most likely be shipped on Saturday or the following Monday. Thank you for your support, and Happy Valentine's Day!
'Til next time,
