Mini Quaker Samplings by With My Needle by With My Needle

Description

Quaker Samplings began in 2006 as a pair of samplers, I and II. These samplers were very popular, and so I added Quaker Sampling III to this series. In Mini Quaker Samplings I add two more samplers, Quaker Sampling IV and V. The package contains charts for both. These samplers can be stitched entirely in cross stitch over two linen threads using one ply of embroidery thread. On each of my models, I decided to stitch the first letter of my first name using four-sided stitches to set it apart from the rest of the letters in the alphabet. I cross stitched everything else. These samplers can be stitched on linen or aida. The models were stitched using one ply of Brethren Blue Sampler Thread from The Gentle Art on 36-count Meadow Rue linen from Lakeside Linens, Inc. We suggest you buy 2, 5-yard skeins of overdyed thread if you want to stitch both samplers using one ply of thread like we did. Quaker Sampling IV. Stitch count: 73 wide x 93 high. Quaker Sampling V. Stitch count: 103 wide x 102 high.
