Cross Stitch Kit from Samplers Not Forgotten featuring a design using elements from the Ann Wright sampler. Kit contains linen, calico, thread, wool, ribbon, and button.
This little kit takes me back to childhood when the neighbor girls and I would pick all of their Mom's Forget Me Nots. Kit contains linen, thread, velvet, and ribbon.

"Teach me to feel another's woe To hide the fault I see That mercy I to others show That mercy show to me."

Sarah stitched this sampler on 50 count linen and it was perfectly executed.

This sampler can either be done in mainly cross stitch (there are a couple of stitches in the alphabet but even those could be done in cross stitch) or have fun playing and fill in with Stem Stitch. I love the look of Stem Stitch, it is kind of like painting with thread. "Lord what is... Read more
"Few to good breeding make a just pretence Good breeding is the blossom of good sense. The last result of an accomplished mind. With outward grace the bodys virtue joined".
