Wedding Sampler – Heartstring Samplery

I have been planning to add a wedding sampler to my Heritage Series for a few years now. This design has been a loving work in progress for longer than it usually takes for me to be happy with the results. But it was very important for me to get it just right. Because the model was designed in honor of my Maternal Grandparents.

This design holds many symbols that represent one or the other of my Grandparents, but I’m hopeful that they are universally liked by you as well. Because I would dearly love it if this wedding sampler was stitched to honor many more Meant-to-Be’s; yourself, your parents or grandparents, your niece or son or friend-of-a-friend. Marriages that last are miracles deserving of such a tribute.

Included with the pattern is a complete upper and lower case alphabet and number set so that you can customize this sampler to honor the life or death of someone you love.

There are also instructions and a template for attaching a photograph to the finished sampler.
