May These Lines A Relic Prove MONTH #2 ANTIQUE SAMPLER OF THE MONTH SERIES

This 19th century unfinished glorious and colorful sampler celebrating God’s creative gifts of life, butterflies, flowers, birds and friendship has no date, name or place with which to identify the original stitcher. The source of the fragment of the stitched verse is also a mystery, and perhaps original to the stitcher. To complete the rhyme, the words “which to remember me” were added as a suggested completion. The antique sampler ends with the line reading “objects by w…” as pictured. Choose yourself whether to complete the verse or add your own ending! “May these lines a relic prove, Even when I’m gone above, May they to my dear friends be, Objects by w(hich to remember me)” Stitch Count: 242 wide x 251 high, Model stitched on 36 count Vintage Autumn Gold by Lakeside Linen with 26 shades of AVAS Soie d’Alger, conversions for DMC, NPI and Cosmo provided.
