Description
Wow… what a gorgeous Scottish (maybe Irish?) Sampler from Hands Across the Sea Samplers. This is one of the samplers that was scheduled for class here at Sassy Jacks, but had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I still LOVE this one and it is high on my list of things to stitch this year.
From the Hands Across the Sea Website:
“This charming sampler has been mainly executed with cross stitch over two threads with a small amount of cross stitch over one thread for Patch the dog. Other stitches used are double running stitch, satin stitch, Algerian eyelet stitch, four-sided stitch, plait stitch and stem stitch. Jane’s sampler has been rated as suitable for intermediate and advanced needle workers but is not beyond a confident beginner. The sampler is an ideal choice for those who wish to expand their repertoire of stitches.”
