IRS 1738

I thought that you might be interested in seeing a picture of my version of the IRS sampler of which I bought the pattern from you. I personalized it with my own initials, and exchanged some of the alphabet with my family name, of German Heritage. I recently entered it at the county fair, and won a blue ribbon, a sweepstakes prize, and it was recommended to go to the state fair. I have also shared the name of your website with the embroidery group that I belong to on facebook, where some of the members have asked where I got it. Thank you for such wonderful patterns.

Sarah Tatum Kit

Dear Scarlet Letter,

I am proud to announce that my sampler "Sara Tatum", from 1800, a Quaker piece recently won every prize possible in our Weld County Fair. Weld County is the largest County in Colorado. I entered the sampler on a whim, at the last minute. It won a blue ribbon for the sampler category, champion over all stitchery, grand champion over the open class division, (cakes, flowers, photography, leather work, afghans, quilts, paintings etc. etc. ) and "Champion of Champions" over all fair entries. Was I ever surprised and thrilled. I am still grinning. The judge said the work was "absolutely exquisite". Just thought you would want to know!
