A new sampler chart give-away

I had read this verse many years ago and was drawn to it. I should have charted it long ago but I am guilty of having too many irons in the fire...for the past 20 years! I liked the verse but I did make a couple changes (I hope the author isn't offended). The original verse was by the poet Alexander Pope (1688-1744). I made minor changes by adding an "s" to the words woe and fault. It now reads:

Teach me to feel another's woes
To hide the faults I see
That mercy I to others show
That mercy show to me.

I used DMC floss...as I have said, I like to make it easy for my customers to use an inexpensive floss that is readily available and they can make any substitutions if they so desire.
Shall we give a few charts away?? Of course we will! Enter now and I will announce the winners on April 1st. Lets give 5 charts away. Be a follower and post a comment here. Post on your blog and get another entry. Get another entry for each friend you send.
Good luck.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
Nancy

    Nancy, you've done a beautiful job charting this very wise verse. If I remember correctly, wasn't Alexander Pope one of the clues in "The da Vinci Code"? I would love to stitch this!
