I've been adding to a stitching sampler for Amy for about a year now.
Her birthday was a great reason to finish it up.
Little bits of lots of things.
All of the items were chosen with her in mind. Like this little corner of red, white and blue since her birthday is on the 5th of July.
She's put up a lot more birthday party pictures over on her blog. Whoever took them (Michelle?) really captured the night well.

Hi Pam,
I love this sampler idea with bits and bobs sewn to it. As a collector of so many itty bitty odds and ends this would be a lovely way to display my tiny treasures. As always, thank you for the inspiration!
Take care,
Laura

So fine, this sampler. I love all the vintage elements and your style. Makes me really miss stitching. Must go dig out some threads.
