Synopsis

Samplers began as practical learning pieces, built from a “sampling” of stitches and motifs to help generations develop core needlework skills. Here, that tradition is reimagined for today, with 16 contemporary designs created as sampler art.

The book covers cross-stitch, surface embroidery, counted-thread work and freestyle techniques, with instructions and diagrams provided for each. Projects can be framed in the classic style or finished using alternative ideas that take sampler art beyond the wall hanging, making it a considered choice for embroiderers looking to practise and expand their hand-stitch repertoire.
