This review is from: Making Samplers: The Embroiderer's Guild Practical Library (Hardcover)
An interesting look at the origins or samplers and the stitches that can be used. I just wish it had more information on how to create one.

This review is from: Making Samplers: The Embroiderer's Guild Practical Library (Hardcover)
The fascination of samplers has endured for centuries, and they are just as popular today as ever. Their strong appeal derives from their use to celebrate and commemorate family events, to record memories of people and places and to explore different stitches.
This collection of twenty samplers to make also covers the widest range of types and techniques, presenting stitchers with samplers to suit many different circumstances and levels of skill. Created by seventeen of the UK's top designers, including Jo Verso, Jane Greenoff, Brenda Keyes, Muriel Best, Jenny Bullen and Vicky Lugg, each sampler was inspired by an historic piece from the famous Embroiderers' Guild Collection. Featured techniques include cross stitch, canvaswork, crazy patchwork, crewelwork, whitework, applique, and machine embroidery. The delightful designs encompass traditional themes such as a family tree, a map, a house and garden, Adam and Eve, flowers from Victorian Berlin woolwork and decorative lettering. Full instructions and charts are given for every project, and each finished piece is shown in a superb colour photograph.
