Thrilled to tell you........

......about a project that has been in the

works for almost a year now.

Back in March of last year I saw this

antique sampler on Pinterest,

of course......

Picture of Original Sampler from Pinterest

and I fell in love

with it.  Upon further research

I found that the piece was held

in a collection at the 

Wisconsin Historical Society.

The sampler was from Ohio and

dated about 1800-1850.

I had my heart set on reproducing it.

 I felt a kind of connection with it, as

I grew up in Ohio and have so many

fond memories of that time in my life.

So, with the help of my dear friend

and sometimes design partner, 

Ruthe, we contacted the Society 

and received permission to proceed.

It's finished and framed and we 

believe it was worth the wait.

We're excited to show you

"Ohio Treasure" 
an antique needlework adaptation.

We've tried to come as close as 
possible to the original.

It's stitched on Weeks Dye Works
Havana linen using Gentle Art
and  Weeks Dye Works floss, but
a full DMC color conversion is
provided. 
This is now available in my
Etsy Shop and is also on it's 
way to my distributor.

 Can't wait to hear what you think?
Happy Stitching!
