Erica says:"Inspired by an entry in my great-grandmother Lizzie’s autograph book, from her younger sister, Sadie - dated 1882. Add in motifs from an antique fold-out pattern booklet and you get this monochromatic set of three: a mini sampler, berry, and needle book. Stitched using silk over two threads of linen, you can easily adapt to your favorite colors."
