Birthday Start

Remember_me

I'm not sure where I had heard about the idea of a 'birthday start' for stitching.  I think maybe on flosstube.  This particular pattern I bought as a kit a very, very, long time ago.  I'm sorry to say that I am not really sure the history of finding this.  I think that it may have actually been a Nashville Needlework preview on a needlework shop that I receive e-mails from.  "When this you see remember me." is one of my favorite sentiments on a needlework sampler.  I also was very attracted to the soft colors, particularly the blue color.  I have wanted to start it several times, and I think I may have for years had this kitted and in a project bag.  I even had this fun thread keep for the project- I just love it so much.  This year I made a point to make this Forget Me Not Sampler by Brenda Gervais my birthday start.  I've never done a birthday start, and I almost forgot about it!  It was around 9:00 at night on my birthday, and I remembered that I wanted to start this project.  I can't wait to finish this one and have it professionally framed.  I love the frame that is in the model photograph, and will likely bring this photo with me to the frame shop.
    I have been working on this project off and on with my other stitching.  I don't usually work on larger pieces, so this is a nice size as a middle size to work on.  Also, it calls for one strand of floss, which is a bit different from other pieces I've worked on.  I'm so excited to see how this turns out!
