A sampler is a project made from a "sampling" of different stitches or different motifs.
Once the learning tool that helped generations of youngsters master basic needlework skills, this traditional project is still a great way to learn and practice embroidery skills - as well as a creative way to add colour to a room or a fabric item. This book brings the sampler into the 21st century with 16 beautiful, contemporary designs for sampler art using cross-stitch, surface, counted-thread, and freestyle embroidery (including instructions and diagrams for each technique).
Each design can be framed like a traditional sampler or finished with a number of creative ideas for taking sampler art beyond the wall hanging.
