*NEW* Always in My Heart

This sampler is a continuation of the sampler series I made a few years ago to honor my Great-Grandmothers. Now I’ve moved to the next generation, designing this sampler to pay tribute to my Paternal Grandmother.

My hope is that at some point, when you inevitably find yourself grieving for the loss of a dear one in your life, that one of these samplers will strike a chord and serve as a therapeutic way to help carry on their legacy. I know that for me, as I stitched each one, and to this day, as I look at them grouped together on my wall, it is with warm fondness and affection. Somehow, stitching their memory onto linen has served as a balm; a tangible and lasting memorial to their lives.

Included with the pattern is a complete upper and lower case alphabet and number set so that you can customize this sampler to honor the life or death of someone you love.

There is also an instruction sheet telling you my method of inserting a photograph into the finished sampler.
