Samplers

Dimensions: 6" x 8 1/2"
Item #: BK999
Price: $10.95
Samplers have a long and extensive history, dating back as early as the sixteenth century. Originally a collection of patterns used in embroidery and needlepoint, they later developed into a schoolgirl's exercise and today they are more often used to record stitches than patterns. This book outlines the history of samplers from the late 16th century on up and illustrates countless samplers in both black and white and color. It includes examples of long, darning, map, school, stitch and plain sewing samplers as well as those associated with important events and private griefs and joys. This colorful and fascinating book will be appreciated by anyone interested in sampling and needlework in general.
