England Heart by The Victoria Sampler

(Click on photo to bigify)

I finished my England Sampler by The Victoria Sampler. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. The kit came with information too.

Official Flower: English Rose
Motto: "Dieu et Mon Droit" (God and My Right)
Bird: European Robin

The offical Flower of England is the English Rose, and the Robin on the left is the official bird. The Foliage stitch under the Robin, symbolizes the wonderful green valleys that attract visitors from all over the world. The St.Georges Cross is the national Flag. The featured stitch represents the surrounding ocean (fan stitch), as well as the Thames River. Finally, at the bottom of the heart, you can find the Crown of England to celebrate the long reign of Queen Elizabeth 11!

On Monday we rang Kodak and they said they would send us a new printer head free of charge and it turned up yesterday (Wednesday), I am certainly impressed with how speedy it turned up! So needless to say, I printed out the Papillon pt 3 SAL out lol.

Lucky Recipient.

Today I was the lucky recipient of this kit from The Victoria Sampler. It was from Wanda for being the winner of the lucky draw on ILCS Shrinking Sisters.Its a support group for dieting stitchers. I absolutely love it and have put it in my 'to do soon' pile. Thank you so much Wanda!

I still havent finished the LK May Stamp. I knew I wouldnt get it done in time. I should of elaborated and said that I didnt have much stitching time.........you all must of thought I was a slow stitcher or something PMSL! Oh well, better late then never. Hopefully it will be done over the next few days.
