| Bren, Ouch! SIL (DH's sis) must have dropped the sampler I made for her wedding because the frame was crooked and it no longer had glass. Oh, well, she didn't treat the marriage any better. I don't know what happened to that sampler, but they didn't give it back. But I only make samplers for my blood relatives now! I did read about someone who got a wedding sampler back from the framer on the day of the wedding (isn't that always the case), so she handed it to her father to wrap since she had to get dressed. Dad put it in the first box he could find that fit, from a toilet seat. The bride and groom thanked the woman for her gift, saying, "It's so unusual." She took it as a compliment to her thoughtfulness and stitching skills. It wasn't til a few years later that they actually opened the box and saw the sampler. |
