Gift Of Love (Birth Register &More)

Description

Gift Of Love (Birth Register &More) by Needle WorkPress

Maegan tells us “More than two centuries ago, this “Gift of Love” was created to mark the birth of Martha Oliver. The tiny stitches are executed on a gauze-type linen that features a variety of motifs, including flowers, animals and birds (photo at left). Above, Jean Lea has recreated this sampler to commemorate her great-grandson’s birth. The booklet also provides charts for a marriage or for a friend. We hope you make this tiny treasure your own to enjoy for the next century. May every stitch bring you joy.”
