New Releases for April 2022

 It's time to introduce three new samplers. These have all shipped and should be arriving at your shops very soon. 

Token of Love


The stitch count is 133 wide by 182 high.  It is an original sampler that I stitched to commemorate our upcoming anniversary. There is a place for initials and a date. The little hearts scattered around the piece could be the number of children you have or replaced with initials. Here are the design sizes on different fabrics.

   28 count 9.5” by 13”            32 count 8.3” by 11.37”

36 count 4.38” by 10.1”                    40 count 6.65” by 9.1”

I stitched the model on 40 count Newport Beach linen from Needle & Flax. It is stitched one over two. It is stitched in Gloriana Silks, and there are also Weeks Dye Works and DMC conversions. I framed mine in a premade 8" by 10" frame from Michaels.

Xaverie Hern Reproduction Sampler


This is a reproduction on an antique Spanish Sampler in my collection. The stitch count is 207 wide by 207 high. The pattern blocks at the bottom are so fun to stitch. Design areas on different count fabrics are

    28 count 14.78” square     32 count 13” square

36 count 11.5” square     40 count 10.35” square

I stitched mine on Ancient Ruin linen from Fox and Rabbit Designs. It is stitched one over two on 40 count linen. The model is stitched in Gloriana Silks and there is a DMC conversion.

The Green Pear Band Sampler


This is an adaptation from the Xaverie Hern antique sampler. I pulled a few of my favorite alphabets and borders from this Spanish Antique Sampler to make a slightly smaller band sampler. It is 80 wide by 194 high. The design sizes are

 28 count 5.7” by 13.85”                      32 count 5” by 12.12”

 36 count 4.4” by 10.8”                   40 count 4” by 9.7”

This is stitched on Steinbeck linen from Needle & Flax. It is stitched in the exact same threads that I used for Xaverie Hern. 

Gloriana Silks: Slate Green #051, Ecru #104, Slate Blue #124, Birch Brown #186, Pine Barrens #222, Brick #247, Tananger Green #374, Iguana Green #277.
