This little sampler is something I made a few weeks ago when I fancied some needlework. I had seen lots of examples of this slogan and I wanted to do something with it for ages. I made a “frame” from some pink card to match the embroidery floss. I found the charts for the letters on-line but for the life of me I can’t find the website now. I’ll update the post if I find it. After taking the photo above I popped the sampler and frame into a 6×4 clip frame and it was ready to display.
Update: I know it came from this page but I can’t remember which one I used

Marian, We went to Denmark when Elly was about nine or ten. It was a Needle worker’s paradise. I came home with a book of lettering suitable for all kinds of needlework. The cover is dog-eared and the pages well used over time. It was invaluable for me with many a project. I still have it somewhere.
Something like that is well worth buying if you come across it.

Irene, thanks for stopping by, I love it too, mostly because I love tea so much
Grannymar, I’m heading up to the RDS next Saturday to the Knitting and Stitching show so I’ll keep an eye out for something like that, it would be really handy alright.
