When I was in graduate school, and friends got married, I made this little piece. I think I've stitched it six times. I'm not entirely sure because I let the little darlings--all mounted in boxes--go out in the wild without photographs.One of my friends just celebrated his anniversary and posted this on Facebook to me as a reminder. They still have it 21 years later. There's a little joy knowing.

That is nice that they still have it. Back in the 1990's I stitched several wedding samplers and birth samplers and gave them to friends. I sometimes wonder if anyone still has them.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely perfect wedding sampler! Glad to know that it is still treasured.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see someone valued it and presumably is still married. Nice job.

How lovely that they still have it and still treasure it enough to remember who stitched it for them too!
ReplyDeleteI have stitched quite a few wedding samplers but prefer birth samplers. There was even a custody battle over one sampler I stitched!
What a great little sampler you stitched! Nice that they still have it and even nicer they are still married. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI had completely forgotten about Throwback Thursday, so nice to get a reminder through your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely piece. And great for you to know that it's still valued by your friend.
Beautiful keepsake, obviously much treasured by your friends. Nice simple design.
