Moving along down the road....

I am going to show off some of the miniatures that I bought years ago... It is always fun to see what I have tucked away since I stored most of my miniature items.  My big doll house was collecting dust faster that I could say "Jackrabbit"...  So here are a few more.

Annelle Ferguson is a great miniature crossstitcher and I was thrilled to be able to purchase two of her fabulous samplers.  Since black is so hard to stitch on, these are extra special to me.  They measure 1 3/4" by 2" including the frames.  She did not date her
s but I bought them in 1993.  I wish I had asked her more about these.  She has numbers, but I don't know what they mean.

Here is another mini, only 1" square including the frame...Caren Garfen from London...dated 1993.

Now I must include a few old samplers that I had a few friends make for me.  One is by my daughter aged 6 at the time in 1988, and my sister, Jerri, who died from Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS. 


She did cross stitch all her life, even with only one eye.  I am so glad I have her sampler!  Sad to say, my daughter has not done any more cross stitching...Perhaps one day!

Happy stitching and I'll see you later, Kathy
