My Heart Can Rest

This design was created by Barb Adams and is dated 2020. It was adapted from an antique French sampler that is pictured on the back of this leaflet.

Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home, sweet home.
For there the heart can rest. 
~  Henry Van Dyke (1852 - 1933) ~
