Hi Gerri Embroider? Would you have the time? What about a cross stitch sampler type of thing? Heather

Today I bought address lables also tried to look for pics of leaves on 'clip art'......all I got was a threat of a ' Trogen horse'whatever!!!!!!!!.It's taken me hours!!!! to sort this out! I couldnt get on line! Thank god I had 'Go back'

I think you can buy kits for samplers of family trees but I don't know if there would be room for birth, marriage and death info. I've thought of doing something like that too but where to stop 1800, 1700, 1600?? My tree is a bit lopsided at the moment, lol. Heather

Heather...thats why I got the address lables.... there is just enough room for the 'birth/christening/marriage death dates.

Gerri I googled for Family-tree Cross-stitch. How many names would you have on your tree? Is it for direct ancestors only? Heather
