More Information

Frances’ sampler is a delight for the eye. Originally intended as a travel project for Nicola, the sampler became her main project from the moment the last stitch was charted. Some samplers call so loudly that you cannot ignore them. We hope that she will call loudly to you, too.

The model was stitched on Weeks Zweigart linen in Parchment using the mellowed colours found on the front of the original sampler today.
