I was digging in the garage today..DH said my boxes are getting in the day of his path to his tools.

It's like a mini history lesson seeing each one, and reading the names of each child or person who stitched them, and the dates they were done. And in some cases also finding out a bit of the stitcher's life history too. How cool. <BR/><BR/>We have a place called Black Creek Pioneer Village, just on the northern edge of Toronto, and it's a group of buildings from around Ontario that were moved to that spot to preserve them and to form a village. People visit there to see how our earliest settlers lived. And in some of the houses there are old samplers hung on the walls which were stitched by young girls of the area. It's so fascinating to see them and study them. <BR/><BR/>Margaret Gibson continues to be both beautiful and interesting to watch grow. <BR/><BR/>Hope everything goes well for your son's wedding, and the weather co-operates for the occasion. <BR/><BR/>There's nothing I love more then a good thunderstorm. I sit and watch them whenever I'm home and have the opportunity. <BR/><BR/>It's always so nice to have you visit my blog and leave a nice, chatty comment. I look forward to it. <BR/><BR/>Take careCrazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505760906723216858.post-64261124288387535032008-01-14T09:05:00.000+11:002008-01-14T09:05:00.000+11:00As always, I am in awe of all that beautiful stitc...As always, I am in awe of all that beautiful stitchery and the patience required to complete these lovely treasures.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Sandi xThe Nostalgia Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478863862119560069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505760906723216858.post-73073947224109222792008-01-14T06:09:00.000+11:002008-01-14T06:09:00.000+11:00Thanks for the interesting post.

In the summer I stumbled across an old issue of BH&G Christmas and worked the wonderful sampler inside. My sis was in England two summers ago and bought me a kit of an adaption of The White House sampler that's in the Fitzwilliam Museum. Image my surprise when I found out that the Scarlet Letter had charted the work! The kit came with aida and I've switched it to linen.
