Upon My Heart - Plum Street Samplers

Plum Street Sampler UPON MY HEART Cross Stitch Pattern Nashville Market. The next pattern is one that is dear to me because I designed it in the style I began my design business with. I love the feel of old samplers, and I hope this one is reflective of how The Lord has always shown me His grace.
