A Cross Stitch Alphabet Sampler


 I started this sampler when we moved to Coonoor in May and its finally done.
The pattern I painstakingly copied onto graph paper probably ten years back. I found it while packing my stash.
It was then that I decided it would have to be embroidered as a commemorative piece of the new environment we were going to be living in.
Will now have to wait for the next trip to Bangalore to get it framed.
Have a good week.

I truly admire your perserverance...from transferring a pattern to graph paper, stored safely for many years, waiting for the right time and occasion to give it life, and now plans for its framing! This beauty-filled piece will go on for a long time with its memories telling many stories. Thank you for sharing!

Love what you are doing with the samplers. Clearly reverent of tradition, but making them totally contemporary. Congrats.
