A Grateful Heart by The Scarlett House was an exclusive kit offered in the Homespun Needlework (Cross Stitch and Samplers) Facebook group a few months ago. I received it as a gift.
The kit was offered with various counts and kinds of Hawthorne fabric by Needle and Flax, with hand dyed floss or silk floss and some extra goodies. I chose the 16ct ct aida Hawthorne and the Weeks Dye Works floss. The fabric is a beautiful mottled light taupe color with slightly darker areas. The chart pack includes the big sampler as well as a small pin pillow.
The verse on the sampler is what sold me on stitching this one.
Each dawn brings a new day
For us to do whatever we may
Choose to be happy with a grateful (heart motif)
For we have been given a brand new start
Rather than stitch the rabbit that was the critter on the the far right, I changed it to another dog as we have two dogs. The black dog represents Shadow and the reddish brown one is Sheila. I took the final stitches on the sampler today. Now all I need to do is decide on a frame.
