Home of a Needleworker by Little House Needleworks has been in my stash for quite a few years now. The Little House Needleworks Facebook group offered a Samplers Sunday SAL for 2020 and I figured this might just be the encouragement I needed to get started. The official starting date was December 29, 2019 and while I had my supplies assembled, I did not actually start stitching until January 4, 2020.
I chose to stitch this one on 16ct Heartland aida from Picture This Plus using Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe threads.

I put the final stitches in this piece on April 30, 2020. I’m going to have a friend help me finish it as a quilted wall hanging.
I went to visit my friend, Beryl Lawson, who is a quilter and fabric collector. I wanted to see if she had anything in her fabric collection that might work with this piece as a wall hanging. Look at this beautiful fabric she gave me.
Now I need to get to work finishing this piece which I am going to hang on the door of my craft room/office.
And here it is finished and ready to hang. I had a hard time sewing a straight line because of my poor eyesight and I could not hold the IPad straight enough to get a good picture.
