Lexie's birth sampler

Once again Jill Rensel has worked her magic! This is little Lexie's birth sampler and she is 18 months old today...better late than never with this one. Took me a long time to get it the way I liked it. That little girl is just darling now. She is saying lots of words like Mommy, Daddy, Papa, eyes, ears, more, thank you...and my personal favorite, uh uh...meaning NO! What a little sweetheart she is! Nothing like those little grandbabies to warm the heart!





This picture was taken almost a year ago but I still love it!

Lovely sampler! I would never have thought to convert this design to a birth sampler. It turned out great. I love Jill's framing on it too!

What a doll Lexie is !! My Mom used to sing this song to my brother and I when we were little . I really should add this pattern to my stash. You did a wonderful job stitching it Cathy!!

OH MY GOSH!!!! Cathy, that is just absolutely amazing. Jill really outdid herself with Lexie's birth sampler. The only thing prettier than it is the little girl herself--what a cutie patootie. I know she will treasure it--really amazing.
