Thanks & Giving
Inspired by and adapted from an 1843 antique sampler, this wonderful tree is the centerpiece with its woodland creatures and classic border. I’ve added the verse to remind us of the season of thanksgiving, but it’s certainly a sentiment to honor all year long. The companion berry features the squirrel, and some of the tree details; and think about that bottom section with the verse as a stand-alone small!
