Liam's Birth Sampler

Liam Stephen Joseph W. was born at 7.37am on Thurday, April 3 weighing in at 8lbs. He is the son of my friend's daughter - isn't he just cute? I stitched this small sampler in readiness on 28ct white evenweave linen using Caron Waterlilies Peach Sherbet which cleverly incorporates both blue and pink into the sampler so all I had to do was to complete the name, date etc in either blue or pink. The other materials I used are ecru no 12 perle cotton, blue and pink DMC and tiny silver and blue beads. I have blurred his surname for privacy purposes.

Today I am going to work on my needleroll for the Monthly Finishing Challenge.

Thanks for visiting

Take care
