space_sampler

My first pattern — my forever pattern!

I learned how to make cross-stitch patterns so I could make this one. (And the Math Sampler-- their ideas came at the exact same moment, but the space sampler beat it to the finish line 😉)

The stars and space and sky-- there really aren't words for how magnificent they are! People have been painting and stitching and writing and singing about the stars for all of human existence, and now it's my turn.
