A sampler for a friend

Recently I had the honour of being asked by a friend to make another couple of samplers.  This is one for her mother's 80th birthday. 

Very similar to the previous one in colour but with a little more emphasis on the recipient's favourite pasttimes such as gardening and sewing.   Lots of flowers and plants, postage stamps cause that's the generation she came from when people used to send letters, water pump and chook cause she was brought up in the country, sewing machine, manequin and dolls because she loves to sew and used to make beautiful dolls, teddies because she's a grandma, keys because she makes you feel safe and holds lots of secrets,  tea cup and teapot because she will always make you feel welcome when you visit and heart, because she loves you. 








A lot of the stamps are from Stampin' Up but you will probably see a few others as well.
