Brenda tells us: "I have always been fond of Frederick County, Maryland, schoolgirl samplers from the 1800s. Typically, on these samplers, you would find a centrally placed large brick home on a stepped terrace with surrounding trees and nature-inspired motifs. At Home, is an original sampler designed to have the feel of a Frederick County sampler.

The verse reads..."For genuine happiness, we need not roam - tis doubtless found with little and at home."
