"Friends Stitching Together..." Zinnias, Gillyflowers and Chrysanthemums (symbolizing thoughts of friends), and Forget-me-nots (symbolizing faithful love and memories) are represented in this elegant and dainty Friendship sampler. The Friends in Stitches bellpull has been stitched with two different colourways to give you lots of options, and to show its versatility. The matching beads are added for that extra sparkle, and the use of delicate gold braid adds a touch of golden sunlight for happiness. At the bottom of the sampler, the exquisite Hardanger heart symbolizes the love between stitching friends. I stitched this sampler to celebrate the joyful giving and receiving of friendship and love of stitchers in my life, so I hope you also stitch this meaningful and lovely sampler, personalize it and share it with your family, or special friends as a remembrance of your fun times together! - Thea
