I started stitching Blackbird's House on Acorn Hill a few years ago as a SAL with a very special friend. She passed away two years ago, and it is only now that I am able to finish the sampler. I added her initials to my sampler because I will always think of it as our sampler.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 261px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529007473489059378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nEUevpGc0N4/TLr7ANHLnjI/AAAAAAAAAdg/pFgrIJ6h17Y/s400/acorn.jpg" />I used Gentle Arts Sampler Threads on 32 count R&R Goldfinch linen. There are more photos on my <a href="http://bluehenhollow.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.Siobhánhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417435699801273729.post-24789680488949145392010-07-11T08:24:00.001-07:002010-07-11T08:49:16.099-07:00Anniversaries of the Heart--so farI am really enjoying working on the Anniversaries of the Heart designs, figuring out how I can personalize the family members represented in each block. On the Snow Garden piece, I omitted stitches in the flowers in the bird's beak to look more like shamrocks.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 398px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492675421986760402" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nEUevpGc0N4/TDnnMeIKJtI/AAAAAAAAAbs/Yd_B-9jRxMw/s400/grandmam.jpg" />In the Valentine Rose block, I changed the design on the door to look more like the number five, to represent our house number. The first letter of my dad's name is stitched on the heart above the house.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 380px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492673829743925554" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nEUevpGc0N4/TDnlvyj4mTI/AAAAAAAAAbk/7ki6FiUSqJU/s400/valentinealone.jpg" />I did A Wish for You to honor my husband. The Irish flag and verse, the year that we met, and his childhood nickname are all on the block.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 305px;
