Hearts and Roses Sampler by Sweetheart Tree



I am proud to present this beautiful sampler that was featured in the magazine "Cross Stitch & Needlework"  May 2007.  It is such a gorgeous design.  There are beads, paillettes, specialty stitches (Upright Herringbone, Diamond eye, Half diamond eye, Scotch stitch, oblique Herringbone) and of course the beautiful red heart.
I will be finishing this up in a Clock Frame from Olde Colonial Designs.  Once it is framed I will add the picture for you all to see.

You may click on the picture to enlarge them




below you can see some of the beads & the hearts stitched as "Rhodes Heart"

    You did a beautiful job on that, especially on the Rhodes heart. Mine always turn out a little "lumpy" LOL!
