George Loves Martha | Plum Street Samplers
Nashville Needlework Marketplace - 2026
Anyone who knows me knows that not only do I love history, but I love the General's history in particular! This design was really fun for me because my favorite color is pink (it's such a happy color!), and the idea of George presenting Martha with a bouquet of heart balloons seemed charming. She's giving him her heart in return (as seen in the palm of her hand).

FOR AIDA STITCHERS: There are just a few places in this pattern that will need slight adjustments: some areas of long or back or straight stitches will split the center of your fabric squares, but they can be moved to the nearest hole instead. There are just a few over-one stitches in this design; these can be replaced with back stitches or in the case of the birds' eyes, a full x.
