February Sampler of the Month

Updated 2/05/12


Originally stitched on perforated paper, this mini-sampler is from NeedleWorkPress and was featured on their blog In July 2011:

Chances are the motifs in this mini-sampler were selected by its maker because of their significance in her life. In my mind's eye, the prominent rose spray says she appreciated beauty; the small cross represents her faith; the flag signals her independence, the bird proudly stands for freedom and the potted flower is stability. Who knows the truth?
