Finished Letters to Anne Sampler--Persuasion






Letters to Anne--freebie included in an order with The Sampler Girl

inspired by the novel Persuasion, Jane Austen-- The initials stand for C. Wentworth and Anne Elliot

designer, The Sampler Girl

32 count Light Coffee HDF

fibers~~  Crescent colors in Blueberry,and DMC

I used a fat quarter remnant of "Blue Birds of Happiness" I found today at the quilt shop to compliment this in an 8 x 10 frame.


In this picture you can see a reflection of my sampler wall. I saw this picture, a very old one, in an antique store and just had to have it because it reminds me of me and hubbie.



Simpler times.

  2. I like how you add the fabric at the bottom of the stitched piece.
    I may use (copy?!!) that idea so I can use of some of my frame collection that nothing ever seems to fit! It also adds character to the piece.
    Take care...

  9. I love Jane Austin, and I think Persuasion is my favorite book of hers. It's the one that breaks my heart the most, the one with the loneliest heroine. I just love Anne and her patience. Good stuff. And lovely finish, too! :)
