Be Thankful Always

Happy Thanksgiving!  

I thought today was the perfect day to share this sampler with you.  A freebie sampler from me to you!

Miss Mary Yerger 1859 is a sweet Pennsylvania German sampler that I reproduced from my personal collection.  I stitched the model almost as Mary had stitched her own structuring some of the motifs and letters to give it some balance.  I have also adapted it to add a special message at the bottom, Be Thankful Always!  



I stitched the model on 32 count Apple Brown linen from R&R Reproductions using Ginny Thompson Flower Thread.  A fun thread to work with, one strand is comparable to using two strands of DMC thread.  They come already wound on floss cards and very easy to unwind as needed.  


I have also provided a DMC conversion so Mary Yerger's sampler can be stitched on any fabric of your choosing!   Here is the DMC color conversion:

Enjoy!

I wish you all a wonderful holiday, albeit a different kind of holiday this year.  

Be well and stay safe!
