A Sister’s Love is one of the samplers included in the newest book by Blackbird Designs, Winds of Autumn Since I have both a brother and a sister, I am renaming it A Sibling’s Love.
The recommended fabric is 36ct Straw by Weeks Dye Works but I chose a piece of 16ct Stone aida by Fabric Flair I had in my stash. It has a mottled antique look which I liked. It is stitched with only four colors of Weeks Dye Works but I am going to switch out some of the floss for Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss.

A word of warning when stitching the border, don’t get too cocky as there are additional stitches in a couple of places.
Now that it is finished, I am going to wait until the place I order my frames from offers flat rate shipping as I now have four projects I want to frame.
And here it is framed ready for spacers and glass.
It’s beautiful and such a wonderful tribute to your siblings!
