This sampler celebrates the start of a new year. From the top of the sampler, where explosions of fireworks shimmer over the water near the small town, to the band playing great dance music, to the dancers under a ceiling of balloons ready for midnight, to a city-scape where neon lights and fireworks herald another year, to Old Father Time and Baby New Year as the sands of time run out on the old year; all these elements are depicted in this cute sampler, and can hang in pride of place throughout the holidays even into January! I always loved New Years eve... as a child my parents would leave for their dance, looking excited and beautifully dressed, and when I was an adult I did the same thing. Now I enjoy more sedate parties, but I still go out and spend a few hours having a gourmet dinner with a gathering of like minded people, wishing each other a Happy New Year at 9 instead of midnight! Wishing you many more New Years.. enjoy stitching this Happy New Year sampler on Misty Blue or other coloured linen, with silks in bright colours! Frame or fashion into a bellpull and hang this in your hall this Holiday season and beyond! - Thea
