“Child of my child, my own greatest treasure. Being your Grandma is a Gift beyond measure... You filled my heart from the very first day, as I learned about love in a forever way. Love binds us deeply, with laughter and tears. You can count on my love to last through the years..." Stitch this delightful and elegant “Child of my Child” Sampler to celebrate your love for your grandchildren! Elegant and timeless, yet perfect for modern decor, this is a celebration sampler that both grand-parents and grand-children will want to display in their home with joy. Love is the overriding expression that grandparents experience upon the birth of any grandchild, and so Love is the inspiration for this sampler. You can use the letters in the alphabet to replace the word Grandma to special family names (like Nana, Oma, etc.) If you’d like to personalize this sampler with your grandchild’s name, you can use the same Alphabet enclosed in the diagrams section. I suggest you put these name(s) by creating more space between bands 9 and 10, or choose the place you like best! You will enjoy stitching bands of specialty stitches, flowers, kids, pets and lovely Hardanger lace, as you work with the beautiful overdyed silk flosses chosen for their joy and happy feelings. Stitch this beautiful sampler for yourself, your spouse, your grand-kids, a friend who is a grandparent, a new baby, or for someone with a special milestone to celebrate. Stitch it to celebrate all of those very precious grandchildren! - Thea
