These samplers are examples of the many personalized designs I have
created.
created.
The base price of a personalized sampler is $75.
For that you get a large "central" initial, standard
border of your choice, a selection of 6 existing
motifs and a signature medallion.
I have many customers who add names, like
maiden names or mother's names, etc. for family
history or because they have a larger family.
There are symbols that have traditional meanings -
bees for hope and industriousness, flowers for love
of nature, hearts for love, crowns for loyalty, crowned
hearts for everlasting love, etc. You don't have to
worry about that. I do the designing - you tell me
your story and what you want to convey.

These samplers are composed mostly of
100 - 200+ year old ancient French
Masters letters which are now copyright
free. I also use ancient motifs where
possible but if not I will create motifs.
For example, in one sampler the son is
a photographer so I created a digital
camera for the design - clearly a digital
camera did not exist 100-200 years ago.

As for alphabets - they vary widely. I ask my customers to identify the 1 or
2 alphabets they like the most and then I do the rest of the selections since I
need to control the design process for sizing etc.

Donna's Sampler
has as its primary focus
her and her husband's
love of sailing. Can you
find the names of the
course her love of - how
could you leave that off of
a custom designed
sampler??

Ellen's Sampler reflects her family, her love of stitching, her love of "The Young & the Restless" and

Notice that Jeanne and
Ellen chose the same
border, yet their
samplers look nothing
alike. Each sampler is
developed individually for
each customer.

Catherine C Sampler
Wedding dates and birthdays are represented along with dates that
are meaningful to the customer. Maps of countries that people have
visited or lived in, along with US states and symbols of those places,
are often requested.

Erynne C
chose to create a border by
combining the Maple leaf
corners with a scalloped edge.
She collects Hosta plants and
has a blended family so we
made a bridge of the two trees.
