Last Rose of Summer was first introduced at Boxwood and Berries 2018 held at Country Sampler in Spring Green Wisconsin. It was also included in the book by Blackbird Designs, Ooh La La.
Several years ago I had also purchased several boxes that were used in the book In Friendship’s Way. I decided I wanted to stitch something for the box but wanted to be more an oval shape to go with the actual shape of the box than the square project pictured.
I decided the Last Rose of Summer was perfect for this project. I had a piece of 16ct aida in mottled tones of tan the blueish gray that I thought would work. I also had all of the floss recommended except for two colors for which I substituted Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss.

There is a large and a small box so will need to see which one it looks best on. Now to finish it and it will be ready to gift to a friend.
What a beautiful piece you created with needle and thread, Pat! Look forward to seeing it fully finished. Hope you are doing well!
