I loved reading the detail of what had been included and why by Marleen. I hope she will take this as a compliment, as it is meant that way, but it has a look of a Jan Houtman sampler about it, but more modern.Marjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587020107028861865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-26734742231002255852014-04-23T08:29:21.184+01:002014-04-23T08:29:21.184+01:00Thank you for your moving memories and kindest wor...Thank you for your moving memories and kindest words - I'll make sure Marleen has them.N E E D L E P R I N Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016259421156728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-78236521454236179852014-04-23T02:22:22.659+01:002014-04-23T02:22:22.659+01:00The Great War is a part of my family also.

He was sent to Europe, but died in the flu epidemic shortly after his arrival, as so many did. Perhaps he was lucky to have been spared the horrors of the war. His picture in his Army uniform always hung in my grandmother's living room, and now it hangs in my library. Always a reminder that all wars and all deaths are personal. <br /><br />One of the poems that we had to memorize in school was Flanders Field. Thank you for sharing this wonderful sampler that was truly made from the heart.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842933448274247062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-85682266000518611162014-04-22T23:49:31.656+01:002014-04-22T23:49:31.656+01:00Could you please pass onto Marleen that her sample...Could you please pass onto Marleen that her sampler is beautiful and very moving.MeganHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842743721181682681noreply@blogger.com
