The Victoria Sampler - Heirloom Birth Sampler

Heirloom Birth Sampler I was often loath to start a baby sampler until I knew the gender of the baby, and this meant that I often gave this meaningful present long after the baby was born. In this sampler, you are invited to finish all the whitework months or even years before it is needed. The sparkling champagne beads and soft gold metallics are subtle and delicate, blending with almost any other colour. Your choice of silk ribbon and floss will complete your heirloom. -Thea SAMPLER: Larger version Design area: Larger Version Design Area: 165h x 72w Model: 32ct platinum Belfast Linen 10.5" x 4.5" (cut 17" X 11") Sampler: Smaller version Design area: 140h x 46w Model: 28 ct platinum Cashel 10" x 3 1/4" (cut 16" X 10")
