Helen Monro by Whilst Iris Naps

This is a reproduction of a Scottish sampler stitched by Helen Monro.  The centerpiece of the sampler is a large white house with a bright blue roof, but there are also birds, flowers, trees, and a berry basket.  The saying at the top is "Remember thy creator and redeemer in the days of thy youth while the evil days come not nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say I have no pleasure in them". 

Note: this piece is primarily cross stitch and there is no over one, but there are eyelets, four-sided stitch, and backstitch.
