I love My Dog

“Sweet gentle eyes, a cold wet nose, and silken velvet ears. A heart as big as all outdoors. Best friends throughout the years.” This adorable sampler is dedicated to anyone who loves dogs. From Lassie in my youth to stories of hero dogs as a teen, dogs truly have been some of the best friends we've ever had. In this original sampler, you can see a scene showing a few dogs, both big and small. The scene at the bottom is a typical dog park surrounded by a neighborhood. It can suggest a field outside a town or a park inside the city. Just the joy of playing or training or interacting with dogs makes us happy! There are a number of specialty stitches to enjoy. There is no Hardanger, but there are three special drawn thread bands to have fun with! The beautiful Bargello at the bottom is a perfect balance with the rest of the sampler.
