RelativelySpeaking #1


 This is the first in my series of samplers to honor my matriarchal ancestors.  Eliza is my father's great-grandmother on his dad's side. Unfortunately, I do not know Eliza's maiden name.  I do know she married William who was from Scotland, and begat Jennie and James. Jennie grew to marry Henry and they begat Samuel, my grandfather.  Samuel and Doris begat my father, Samuel Jr.
I would like to think that Eliza would be happy to grace the wall of her great-great-granddaughter's home.


The Eliza was stitched on "dirty laguna" over two threads and is 8x10 when finished.  All of my patterns will fit into standard frames.  This makes each product considerably more cost-effective.
