Blog #30 - Sampler Frisien 1750

Saturday,  24 January 2015  -

 

If you have been following my blog, in Blog #21,

I showed a reproduction sampler I had previously put aside

but picked up again and was determined to finish.

This is how it looked on the 8th of November 2014 -

 
 

and this is how it looks today
and when I finished it just before Christmas last year -

 

I am 

SO

thrilled 

with it.

 

I especially

love the colours

in it

as they are

MY colours -

burgundy’s
and greens. 

 

And to make

this sampler

a little unique,

I have added

my name

and the

year date

in which 

I stitched it

below 

the year

of 1750

in which 

it was 

originally
stitched.

 

 

This particular design is a reproduction of an original 

from the extensive private collection of my Belgium friend, Gigi.

If you would like to stitch this piece for yourself,
please request a copy to be sent to you.
