A Vintage Framed Sampler

10.12.2014

When I was hunting at the Liberty Antiques Festival a couple weeks ago I came across another piece of artwork.

 
I stood there and looked at it and pondered about whether I really wanted it or not....for about half a second.

I've always had a fondness for these handmade pieces though and the time it took someone to create it.

I can't sit long enough to work on a piece of art like this, but sure am glad that someone else did so I can enjoy it now.

This is such a good size and the farm scene with the bible verse is perfect for this room. 


And for $30.....SOLD!

You can see some other purchases from the antiques fair here and here.

    I love the sampler Kim! So much work goes into it. That's the perfect spot for it too.

    Love it, I couldn't create that either. I have tried to cross stitch and it is a mess. LOL

    i love it! last sunday i bypassed an embroidered scene of two deer that was in a booth at my favorite antique arcade and I have been thinking of it all week and regret I didn't grab it. It would be a 50 mile one-way trip to go back to see if it's still there...though on second thought, I could call and ask them to hold it for me... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

    Kim,
    Wonderful find and boy that was made for this room. It looks perfect with your red armoire and check drapes. It was meant to be.

    It's beautiful! As someone who in the past did a lot of handwork, it IS a lot of tedious work. I love the apple painting too.

    It is such a special piece as there aren't as many people who do this type of work anymore. I also appreciate the message...

    I have a cross stitch of my parents wedding!!!! I haven't gotten it hung in this house yet but you have inspired me. I just wish I had ANY idea of who did it. Yours is beautiful and perfect in your room. Great find, Kim!

    I does go so well in that room, I've did those samplers back in the 80's and 90's and they are a lot of work, the price you paid for it is a great one!

    Your new piece reminds me of my mother-in-law's beautiful cross stitching. I love them, too. It's just perfect in this corner!
