Parents Sampler

Thanks to Giulia Punti Antichi!
Parents Sampler was published in the Spring 2001 issue of Sampler & Antique Needlework Quarterly. Giulia got the inspiration for this sampler from reading previous issues of the magazine. She says, "This project is a love tribute to my parents: a very old-fashioned band sampler with a flower border and two vases with lilies. The pistils of flowers are realized with golden beads and yellow silk. The sampler is designed to match the previous two projects that I designed."
