Synopsis

This collection offers Quaker medallion, motif and sampler designs created with two core stitches, combining a traditional framework with a contemporary sense of colour and character. Subjects include birds, flowers, wreaths and monograms, alongside charts designed to be used as complete samplers or as building blocks for your own layouts.

Inside you will find 10 traditional and 10 modern samplers with full stitch charts and photography, plus 180 individual charted motifs and medallions. Three complete alphabets in upper and lower case support personalisation, while two modern projects include a Quaker motif heart and a pincushion featuring a half medallion pattern. The book also includes an overview of Quaker sampler history and a guide to tools, materials and techniques, making it suitable for embroiderers of all abilities.
