Sister Sampler

“Whether together or far apart, you are the sister of my Heart." Stitch this beautiful feminine and heartfelt “Sister” Sampler! Elegant and timeless, yet fitting more modern decor, this sampler is just the thing to spend extra time stitching to celebrate your own sister, or those who are sisters of your heart. At the top is a lovely urn holding stylized flowers, surrounded by vines and birds in shades of blue and pale fuchsia. The lace is all stitched with ivory threads and makes this a really feminine sampler. There is a wonderful shade of deep gold which adds drama to the stitching. You will enjoy stitching bands of specialty stitches, flowers, and lovely Hardanger lace, as you work with the overdyed silk flosses chosen for their joy and happy feelings. The band in the middle that shows two ladies having tea together symbolizes the special relationship between sisters. Stitch this sampler for yourself, your sister(s) or a friend who is your chosen sister, to celebrate your relationship and show them how much they mean to you.
