I created Miss Campbell's Scissors Keep using a motif from an antique Scottish sampler in my collection, Margaret Campbell 1848. The Angus Trees on each side of her house caught my attention right away. These trees were just made to be turned into a scissors case. I did take a small liberty with the design and added dogs at the base of Margaret's tree. I do hope she doesn't mind.
