Home Sweet Away From Home Sampler

Home Sweet Away From Home Sampler

I first stitched this sampler when Jim and I were traveling in our 21′ Sunline travel trailer. It hung in the trailer during all of our travels. When Jim’s daughter, Martha, and her husband, Paul, started using an old family farmhouse as a summer retreat, I thought this would make a nice gift. So I pulled our the chart again and made it for them as a Christmas gift (2007.)

The sampler is worked on 14 court khaki Aida and finished with red bell pull hardware.

NOTE: This pattern appeared in the April/May 1991 issue of Cross-Stitch Quick & Easy magazine. I am not sure if the magazine is still being published or not. I have had several people contact me about this pattern which I was finally able to locate again so please feel free to get back to me.

    Wow – that turned out beautifully, I love the colors. Do you know where I could get this exact pattern? I tried doing searching, but I can’t find anything with letters that are this stylized. Thanks!!
