The Innocence of Childhood Caroline 1825 - Running With Needles & Scissors - Cross Stitch Pattern

This lovely and elegant French sampler reminds me of Paris, which is probably why it appealed to me so much.  Although it was stitched in black, it would lend itself to many other colors.  The verse is stitched over one, but I have translated it to English and charted the verse over two as well as the dedication. 

This sampler was stitched to perfection by my friend Diane Hermes.
