This sampler brings together two of my favorite themes: stitching and music. It is full of motifs such as thread spools, "loudspeaker" flowers, and hoops with music notes. It reads: "I wanna rock and roll all night and cross stitch every day"
The model was turned into a quilted table mat meant for use at cross stitch retreats, but it would be just as good placed in a frame. It was inspired by the people I've met and the friends I've made at cross stitch events across the nation.

Savor the nostalgia of a mid-century Christmas. These sweet characters will take you back to the days of shiny-brite ornaments, tinsel-covered trees, and glass bead garlands. Santa is full of cheer as he laughs, "Ho, ho, ho" and Frosty wears a jolly smile.
