However, I might be able to find a picture or at least a sketch that you would show you the lettering style and the placement of the words that would enable you to duplicate it. I'll put that on my to-do list. Heidi, I don’t think you could find an actual pattern anywhere, because the linen came prestamped for embroidery (not like today’s usual counted cross stitch).

I have been going crazy trying to remember the entire theme for Gaynotes, Firelights and Merrihands - part of the Primary program in the late 50's and 60's. I have the cross-stitched sampler on my family room wall - a dear reminder of three of the most wonderful years in my life, with teachers I shall always cherish and admire. Although the sampler reads: "I will bring the light of the Gospel into my home," I seem to remember two more phrases - one of which I cannot (or anyone else) remember. Here is my recollection with the missing phrase: "I will bring the light of the Gospel into my home by............................, and greeting the day with a song." Does anyone recall the missing phrase, or am I simply remembering it incorrectly? Please let me know if you recall. This is driving me nuts! Jane Help!

I never realized that it's spelled without a middle "a". Memories of the smell of melted plastic in the wardhouse kitchen when the primary teachers were affixing new little dodads to the, ahem, bandlos, using a butterknife heated on the stove.

Mina's crabbing about it must have spurred my memory. That too, hung in some conspicuous place on the wall, provided additional fodder for little brothers to harass big sisters. :-) Didn’t the cross stitch project read: “I will bring the light of the gospel into my home”?
