by Blackbird Designs. WOO HOO! I completed one of the six samplers I have on my list for this year to finish!!
This sampler block is in honor of my THREE BROTHERS. Here is a picture of most of us gathered on the day after Thanksgiving.

Since this is all over one, it was a challenge to fit them and their birth years in there, but by golly, I did it! I really changed the colors of the flowers on this sampler. Wasn't too sure about it, but Brian and Madeleine said it was very pretty and to leave it, so it stays.
I am stitching Anniversaries of the Heart by Blackbird Designs all on one piece of 25ct cream Dublin linen, which requires some modifications along the way. It is stitched with mostly DMC, and some VMSS. I have made MANY color changes to make mine look more like the pattern covers. I have quite a few posts about this sampler on my blog with stories about what each one means to me. Also there are family pictures on those posts to go with "their" samplers. If you are interested, just put AotH in the search bar up on the very top left of this page. That will take you to those entries.💗

I am now stitching the inner and outer borders of The Friendship Sampler from BBD.
A new year and I have so many new stitching plans! And not just the samplers. Time. Time. We need more hours in our days to get all the patterns stitched right?

Hi Vickie: You have a wonderful family; it is such a Blessing to have family around.
Evergreen is a sweet design, nice job getting the years and names in.
I too have three brothers two have passed due to cancer from smoking.
I hope to see what else you are working on.

That is a wonderful block in honor of your brothers, Vickie! You are one tall family--my sons would be jealous. Ha ha :) They are only 5'8" -5'10". Of course they blame me because I'm such a shrimp!
Looking forward to seeing the next block! Enjoy your week ♥
Fabulous block finish and a great way to celebrate your brothers! Love the family photos too.
A perfect sampler block in honour of your brothers, and nice family photos!
Is there ever enough stitching time in the day?!
