Description

This design sourcebook for contemporary samplers contains motifs and
patterns based on reworked traditional and specially created designs
for subjects including animals, birds, buildings, trees, flowers and
border patterns. Patterns are included in graph form, and stitched
examples are shown in accompanying photographs. A number of the motifs
are described in step-by-step format and information about stitching
techniques and threads is provided.

The book is carefully tailored to be suitable for a variety of skill
levels, and includes affordable domestic options as well as more
ambitious and specialist techniques and materials for those with the
resources, such as schools and established textile artists.
