More Information

Of this sampler Brenda says: A sampler celebrating the needle! The verse on the sampler is a line from the Praise of the Needle/The Needles Excellency, written by John Taylor in 1634. I've loved this verse for many years; it was time to use it on a piece of needlework, honoring the little implement of our hobby! This small sampler is finished with the Hem Stitch. The pattern will come with two sets of alphabets for personalizing. I used my initials along with my Mothers, honoring her patience and the many hours she spent teaching me to stitch as a young girl.
