I think our children need a place where they can always return when they are feeling alone, unloved or when life is throwing them some hard knocks.  That place is home...a place where they can find unconditional love, a clean bed to sleep...and time.  

This little sampler is stitched with one thread of Silk 'N Colors™ from The Thread Gatherer.  It has a few rows of specialty stitches -- Smyrna Cross & Satin Stitch -- and two interesting Straight Stitch rows that resemble a row of fences.
