I used 32 count linen and only sewed in the middle of the day when I could see properly.
It took me ages to work out the design; the surnames are blocked out for obvious reasons.
It looks much better ironed.

Not Tapestry
My sister turned 70 this year so for her birthday I made a Family Sampler to give her. I used to do lots of cross stitch so I knew it would take a lot of time and I started in Feb. to have it finished by her birthday in July.

Hi Glennis - another very slow technique! I assume it is done on linen, the fabric that certainly crumples well! It looks lovely, I hope the family appreciates the heirloom you have gifted them with.
Hi Mary
It was done on linen which does crumple well. My sister was very happy with her present.
