A Gift from Heaven

"I designed these two samplers to commemorate the births of my twin granddaughters, Katie (Kathryn) and Norah. I wanted each girl to have her own sampler that would be slightly different from her sisterÕs, but I wanted them to coordinate. The thread colors on both samplers are the same, but I changed the colors of some of the flowers on the border so there would be a subtle difference between the two samplers. I also changed the positions of the bees, ladybugs, small flowers and butterflies. The most noticeable difference is that the pictorial scenes on the samplers are mirror images. IÕve included charts for both samplers in this package." The models were stitched on 36 count Antique Ivory linen (#233) from Zweigart using silk threads from Needlepoint Silks and Simply Wool thread from The Gentle Art. DMC substitutions are provided. Stitch count: 159 wide x 80 high
