Oh my goodness Betty,

My heart goes out to you about such a profound and tragic loss. And what a tender and poignant memory to share about the cross stitch. I hope this picture brings about even more healing for you. The the cross stitch is just adorable. And I think it is so sensitive of you to remember the woman who spent all of that time making such a delightful cross stitch.

The picture goes absolutely perfectly on top of your sewing machine. Your sewing machine is even 'featured' in the picture.

I think it's kismet !

Big Hugs for you dear Betty, Janice

I can't even imagine your loss but I totally understand your desire to appreciate another's handiwork. When my mother passed away, I found my paternal grandmother's cross stitch sampler from when she was eleven. Soon after, the sampler was framed and just turn 100 in April. It is one of the first things I see each morning.

Beautiful! You deserve to have it. I used to stitch myself to death and some of my framed pictures are tucked away and not on the walls.
I'm sorry to hear that you have lost a child.

Thank you for sharing such a personal message. I have always loved to cross stitch but now will think of you when I am doing it!

Jennifer Hester

You are a beautiful soul Betty, loving you today.

Dear Betty, you are a special sentimental person. I think it is so sweet that you felt a connection to the person who stitched this lovely sampler.

How sad that you tried so hard to save your baby and he couldn't make it. I will always think of your cross stitch journey when I see a sampler or a cross stitched picture.

Blessings and love to you always,
Jeanne

Ooooh How sad

Your big, sentimental heart (they swell with heartaches and happiness from our past) clearly was leading you on to rescue the lovely cross-stitch sampler. And I bet Mrs. Flanagan and your baby shared a hug! And here’s a hug to you, too! Cathy

Happy Mother's Day Betty! I absolutely am in love with these filled cross stitch samplers. I could never stay with them long enough to finish one myself! OMG! The roses in your yard! What a wonderful treat that old Dutch man left for you! Elizabeth

That is such a pretty cross stitch piece, and I am all choked up reading your story. I can't imagine the sorrow you experienced. When I was pregnant, I was bedridden for three months and also cross-stitched a little lamb piece for my baby daughter. Thank you, sweet friend, for sharing this with us. Bless you!
