Scottish Reproduction Sampler
Join me in reproducing this beautiful Scottish Sampler. The sampler was recently added to my sampler collection and our class will include a brief history lesson in Scottish samplers. Common to this period, Scottish samplers usually included peacocks and initials of family members. This sampler’s beautiful lettering, motifs, and colors will be stitched in Olde Willow Stitchery silk floss and 36 ct. Lakeside Linen fabric.
Kit includes: Lakeside Linen Fabric, needle, chart, Olde Willow silk floss, photo and instructions.
Peacock Fancy Ensemble
Join me in filling this beautiful Elsie DiCassio peacock box with stitching accessories. Shown here is the scissor poke, needlecase with beaded closure, stitching band to commemorate the stitching retreat and the cushioned box bottom. We will also have a quick beading lesson and make a matching scissor fob and a beaded fob with a peacock charm accessory (not pictured.)
Kit includes: Specially hand-painted box by Elsie DiCassio, Lakeside Linen fabric, needle, chart, Olde Willow silk floss, beads, photo and instructions
