Fresh Air Sampler, Part Three of Elements Series

Third in the "Four Elements" series! The Fresh Air Sampler is the third in the "Four Elements" Series! A lovely Hardanger window with lacy curtains on each side is placed at the top of this sampler. Through the window you can just see the lovely blue sky that is the inspiration of this piece. The little birds made of delicate silver in the center and the sparkling silvery beads throughout, give a wonderful feeling of light and movement. We hope you enjoy stitching this sampler as it is or enjoy using different words for other special occasions like a birthday, the birth of a baby, or a christening!
