This piece was inspired by a sampler found in a blanket chest in the attic of a dear friend. The original sampler was stitched by E. Thomas at the age of 9. My adaption of this sampler encompasses a series of motifs, borders and specialty stitches pulled from the original sampler.
We will personalize this miniature of the sampler by using the alphabet in threads to match the Sawtooth Satin stitch border. Your box top piece will be worked on 36ct with a combination of over 1 and 2 threads. The completed Box top miniature sampler measures approximately 6 1/2” wide. Accompanying your box will be a set of smalls, stitched on 32 count linen to fit nicely inside the miniature blanket chest.
Kit includes: Cherry box, threads, 36 and 32 count linen, needles, mounting board with batting, chart and finishing instructions with photos.
Please bring to class the usual stitching supplies, plus lighting and magnification if needed.
