"For You, With Love...” Remember someone’s birthday by stitching this little sampler. Featuring a Birthstone Heart stitched in sparkling metallic thread, a medallion and tiny garden showing the appropriate Birthflowers, this design is dedicated to all those special people who are born in January! The deep red
Garnet, birthstone of January, signifies love, compassion and an enhanced imagination. Traditionally, garnets have been carried by travelers to protect against accidents far from home.
Carnation, the Birth flower for January, stands for “desire and admiration”. Carnations have often been used in herb lore to comfort the heart. Using the enclosed Alphabet and finishing directions, you can personalize this little sampler and finish it into a needleroll, or frame it using an easy to find 5” X 7” frame. I’m sure that the birthday recipient will truly appreciate this as a gift from your heart.
