Elegant whitework frames the dainty gold hearts, the pansy vine, the accents of soft gold and the violet cross stitched silk pansies. Purple beads and white pearls shimmer softly throughout this little sampler. Make the box cover, the scissor fob, and frame or fashion the sampler into a needleroll. All can be given to a loved one as tokens of healing and love! “Heart’s Ease or Pansy, pleasure or thought,Which would the picture give us of these?Surely the heart that conceived it sought… Heart’s Ease.Deep flowers, with luster and darkness fraught,From Glass that gleams as the chill still seasLean and lend for a heart distraught… Heart’s Ease."-A.C. Swinburn
