Last one - you must be getting bored by now.
I remembered I had my father's book-cover which I made for a wedding anniversary ages ago, in the popular colours of the time - brown, orange and green.The ship is a traditional design on Dutch samplers and I duly put 5 children plus the parents on it as well as their initials and the wedding date. I embroidered one on linen for my in-laws as well as they got married in the same year, had it framed and got that when my MiL died, must be somewhere in a cupboard.
Today I digitised this sampler, more or less copied the ship (had to use a magnifying glass to count the crosses!), used different colours, added 2 boys and 2 girls, and a few extras. I can easily changed initials and use it for friends who have a golden anniversary in August.

145234What a wonderful memory you have created. I love it when embroidery has such a special meaning for someone. I like to do that as well.
You have digitized it perfectly, again.

It looks wonderful. I like the updated colors you used, and the little heart and grape clusters add a nice fresh touch. Well done!

And remember, it was you who got me started again, I had only used it occcasionally before as I rather did cross stitch by hand. But it is fun for a quick gift. I'm working on lots of traditional motifs and borders that can be put together quickly in a sampler - as long as you save them as .krz files you can open them easily in cross stitcher and move them where you want them.
