My parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this weekend. My mom cross-stitched this sampler for the occasion and M. and I picked it up at the framer's just in time to present it to my parents at their party.
My own small contribution to the festivities! It's a pattern by Brenda Keyes. It looked quite easy in her book, "Traditional Samplers", but turned out to be a lot of work! The charm is one of the Shepherd Bush silver charms. Luckily I had just enough Gloriana thread to finish it (with only an inch or so left, which was quite stressful at the end) G.
