Description

"Good Friends listen with their Hearts...." These two sampler designs grew out of a special friendship, and I hope you enjoy stitching them. A year ago, I asked Yvonne to co-design a small free pattern for our online stitching group. I showed her my floral amethyst, violet, green and white Hardanger heart, and she created a matching floral Pulled Thread heart. After placing them side by side on antique white linen, we were going to present our gift to the group in September 2003. However, during the summer months, Yvonne unexpectedly and tragically developed rheumatoid arthritis, and we reluctantly had to let the idea go. Months later, as Yvonne was working hard to deal with her new challenges, and with her permission, I began to stitch these two hearts into a healing sampler in her honour. Adding my bands, I included her beautiful floral heart and changed the colours of one of her previously used floral bands. On the front cover of this leaflet is the result. On the back cover, you'll see the original horizontal side by side hearts as we stitched them a year ago, plus her gorgeous floral border. Chart is inside. I also added the words in both samplers. Meanwhile, with the help of the Arthritis Society, her friends and her family...Yvonne's hands improved enough to do many of the things she was unable to do before, including designing part time. Thanks to you my dear friend, Yvonne! - Thea
