An Anniversary Sampler announces the years of mar-uriage; two lives joined in love—what a celebration! In country reds and greens, our little couple walk hand in hand with beautiful flowers and hearts, repledging their commitment. The happy couple and cozy houses can be pulled out of the larger design and stitched on ‘Additions’ to hang in a special spot, or placed in a wooden circle frame to fill that perfect corner.
