Find "The Happy Choice" sampler in the fall issue of
Sampler & Antique Needlework Quarterly
The original sampler is in the Queenstown Sampler Designs collection and was reproduced specifically for the magazine.
We are pleased to announce Queenstown Sampler Designs are now being distributed by Yarn Tree. Please visit their web site for details.
IT'S NOW AVAILABLE!
R. Le Tellier 1873
The R. Le Tellier 1873 sampler is typical of French or French/Canadian school girl samplers worked through-out the 19th century. The prominent tabernacle motif is characteristic and the colors are distinctive to French school girl samplers. The original was worked in wool on duo canvas. Please refer to the book Les Marquoirs Anciens by Catherine Pouchelon, ISBN: 2842704959
Corsica River Sampler
The Corsica River Sampler is based on early Assisi (voided work) and blackwork patterns. The early patterns are from Italy, France, Spain, England, and now Maryland USA. The sampler is named after a river close to my home. Most of the creatures in the last row can be found around my home or from my imagination. There really was a black bear that frequently destroyed our backyard birdfeeders from October 2008 to April 2009. The DNR finally captured him and took him to a better place - far away to the mountains of Western Maryland. Pearl, the white squirrel of Queenstown is represented. We are also famous for our Chesapeake Blue Crabs. The bee motif is a nod to Corsica, France, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Please see the sampler stitching details in the "Original Designs" page.
