It took all day to get two simple motifs stitched.
Actually, it probably didn't take all day, but they were so boring to stitch that I had to stop and do other things to avoid nodding off.
These same trees show up on a lot of schoolgirl samplers. It occurred to me to try to find out if there was a particular area or school that used them, so I spent some time gazing at the Wall of Needlework Books in the stash room. I thought I had a book on sampler motifs, but I couldn't find it. Actually, this is not the first needlework book that has gone missing since we moved. I know I packed all my needlework books. It is possible that either one box never made it onto the truck, or didn't make it off.
But the search continues.
Very pretty trees.
