Heirloom series #3! Creamy white silk threads, white silk ribbon, shimmering metallic and soft white perle cotton make this Wedding Sampler simply enchanting to stitch. The beautiful floral pearl encrusted heart and lacy Hardanger bottom enclose some heart filled bands that express the theme of “love”. The model was stitched on Platinum linen for an Antique timeless look. However, I originally designed this on White Linen to evoke the frothy white silky wedding dress trailing Hardanger Lace. The words “Faith, Hope, Love... the Greatest of these is Love” is my personal choice for this sampler, but I encourage you to choose words that are particularly meaningful to you! The photos show the Main Heirloom Wedding Sampler, the smaller Mini Wedding Sampler, and a box top design (also suitable for the center of a ring pillow). A Hardanger bridesmaid gift ornament is taken from the main graph. I invite you to use all the elements and bands of the sampler to embellish other items you might like.. such as place cards, a ring pillow, candle holders, garter or sachets full of rose petals. However you use these designs, I hope you stitch this pattern with joy and kindness as a true Labour of Love.
