Heirloom
Stitching Sampler
A Stitched Family Heirloom!
“Grandma loved her fancywork
and passed it on to me
My daughter found her needleart
at my dear mother’s knee
Our love and lives are intertwined
for all of us to see
The threads with which I stitch today connect our family” - thea
This 10th addition to the Heirloom Sampler Series celebrates
our love of stitching, as well as the bond stitching forms in our families, as it’s
passed on through the years. Needlework was passed from mother to daughter, from
grandmother to grandaughter in those loving quiet moments of yesteryear. I hope you also feel the love and connection with your own mothers, aunts and grandmothers
and all the stitchers that came before you as you create this exquisite heirloom
for your own family. The top Alphabet and floral motif set the ‘tone’ of the sampler,
and they are followed by lovely specialty stitch bands to showcase the stitcher’s
skill. I’ve included over 38 specialty stitches in this sampler, along with clear
instructions and diagrams! The
three domestic scenes depict stitchers of the various
times in history. The top scene shows a colonial scene with a spinning wheel and
various members of the household engaged in the necessary tasks. The middle scene
shows a 'forties' living room, and finally
our modern times are depicted with men and children with our stitchers. This design will become an Heirloom prized
by all your family and their descendents! Stitch it for yourself, and evoke a special connection with your own family of stitchers!
