Lucky win for me!!

I was so excited last night as I received a prize from The Needlework Show from Darlene Lara, the designer for The Marking Samplar. It had travelled from Knoxville, Tennessee, took 3 weeks Airmail. Funny how you can travel to USA from Australia in 1.5 days but mail can take up to 4 weeks.

Anyway it is a most darling sampler, a miniature sampler reproduced by Darlene from the original made by Mary Clark in 1848. Here it is below for you see.

Aren't I a lucky girl!!

Thank you so much Darlene, I was really touched to receive this!!
