The sampler is from a designing contest held by Woman's Day way back in the 80's. It appeared both in an issue of their magazine and also was in a book where they published a collection of some of the designs entered in the contest. I think the book said something about "award winning samplers with Woman's Day in the title. I've seen it a time or two at Half Price Books.<br /><br />It says "Children & snowflakes are never the same" (SO true! lol!)<br /><br /> The woman who designed it lived in MI where we lived at the time. I can even remember once seeing people cross country skiing outside our front window while living there.<br /><br />It was designed for 3 children and we had 3 when I started...but before finishing, we had another child so I changed things a bit. The dog even looks like the dog we had back then and we had a big spruce tree in our front yard.<br /><br />It's solidly stitched and probably the biggest bap (although I didn't know that term back then) I'd stitched up to that point.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867198853726961474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396467894694770298.post-61587103627314859872013-01-01T18:06:20.553-08:002013-01-01T18:06:20.553-08:00Aw, that's just so great that you got to be al...Aw, that's just so great that you got to be all together for the holidays!
