~ Sweet Baby Sampler ~

I recently finished this.

It is Praiseworthy Stitches ~ Sweet Baby Sampler~ for my sweet baby Grand-daughter.

This really took me much longer than it should have as I did a lot of colour changing which to be honest I found to be a bit of a struggle. It is not that easy to try and get colours just right and I have to say I did a fair amount of unpicking. I am happy with the results now though and I hope when little Miss B grows up she will like it too.


I was looking after my two little ones the other day and I just love the honesty and innocence of the things they say. Miss Milly who is three told me "Nana you have wrinkly cheeks don't you!"

  1. You just have to smile at the things that little children say! Your sampler is gorgeous! Too bad about the unpicking, but I think that's a hazard of having a lot of color changes in a design. It's beautiful.

  8. Being a grandmother is unlike any other love you will feel in your lifetime. Before I became a grandmother I thought I loved my sons. After the first grandchild was placed in my arms I realized that all of the love I thought I had felt up until that moment was only a dress rehearsal and that now I knew - I knew love in its purest and most raw form and that my life would never be the same again.

  9. Brenna's sampler is beautiful Chrissie and well worth all the effort I know it took you. Glad you have wrinkly cheeks too, we'll make a right pair of old wrinklies next month.
