Sampler & Antique Needlework: Fall 2015

Historic needlework and cross-stitch sampler enthusiasts will be captivated by four samplers, including the second half of an intricate motif-filled ornamental 19th-century Vierlande sampler, an adaptation of a portion of a vividly colored Mexican sampler, a 19th-century Welsh sampler and a 19th-century sampler finished into a needle pocket. Needlework smalls admirers will be thrilled with the fourth and final installment of the antique-inspired stitching set along with an elegant stitched porcelain pincushion doll; historical needlework fans will enjoy reading about the history of needlework-related souvenirs and the vibrant hues and delicate stitches of Mexican samplers. Beautiful, full-color photos accompany each article, while easy-to-understand charts and cross-stitch instructions are presented with each pattern.
