Harriet's Birth Sampler


Birth Sampler stitched for my friend's daughter.
Stitched in DMC on 28 count linen.

The design is from a Brenda Keyes book.

Rebecca's Birth Sampler


This one is for another friend who worked with me and the first friend.  I stitched it for her daughter.  
Notice anything about the two dates of birth?  They are the same!  Two really good friends fall pregnant at the same time and give birth on the same day a few hours apart!

Jaimee's Christening Sampler


Christening sampler stitched for my friend's God-Daughter.
I designed this myself using motifs, alphabets and borders for a variety of books.
The first is a traditional Irish Blessing which we felt was appropriate because both families are farmers and it talks about fields!

Summer Band Sampler


Stitched on 14 count aida
Chart from Cross Stitcher magazine
