Anne Pennsylvania Peacock
Designed by Little by Little
Anne Pennsylvania Peacock isn't that a wonderful name for a sampler? AppleJack's Grandmother was named Annie Magnolia--isn't that a wonderful name for a sampler? Am taking liberties with Cynthia Bradford's (Little by Little) design and changing the name and dwelling place and some structural changes with the house (it is the gold rectangle to the right of Annie's dress).
One of the many things which I love about this sampler is the proportion. Annie will tower over her house. Beside the house is this funky tree.
When I finish stitching Annie Magnolia she will be gifted to AppleJack's daughter and Granddaughter. Will also be attaching a letter to the back of the framed sampler with bits and pieces I have learned about Annie Magnolia's life.
