This is Lisa's daughter, Mariah. I just wanted to let everybody know that while driving to work, she was swept away in the river. She had been missing since yesterday at 6 a.m. but this morning, firefighters found her body in her car. She was the best person I know. She was also more than a fantastic wife and mother, the best any of us could ask for.

Thanks Carol for stitching the model and coming up with the perfect name!

Eliza's Sampler

Image
This plain sampler was first stitched by my great, great, great-grandmother, Eliza Winton. I'd like to thank Edith Anderson, who has the original, for allowing me to reproduce it.

Here is Salem Village. It was a fun stitch. The cool tray is from East Side Moulding. I used 40 count Vintage Pear from Lakeside Linens. The fibers were fun! They are Florimell Silk Floss by Gloriana. Really variegated, I love the look of them.
