Well in a city
Birth sampler for my amazing nephew who joined us this past year. The pattern is "Watch Over Me" by Karen Kluba -- www.rosewoodxstitch.com/catalog.php?item=149&catid=26... -- with a few modifications (added another border for the great-great-grandparents, used first names instead of initials, made the baby bird purple instead of red or blue, etc.) I picked this pattern because a lot of birth sampler patterns are a little bit too "babyish," and I wanted something that would be appropriate at any age -- and also because I adored the "family tree" idea that would make this not only a commemoration of his birth but a record of his ancestors.
My two favorite things that other people have made for me. The shawl my mom made, the sampler my grandma made
trying out different stitch techniqes AND making something useful- 100% cotton, eco- friendly wash cloths.
Loved the textures produced by the stitching.
I do apologise to the creators- I didn't buy a catalog and so don't know who to credit. Please add a comment if you know who made this.
