Heirloom Stitching Sampler
The verse on this impressive sampler reads “Grandma loved her fancywork
and passed it on to me
My daughter found her needleart
at my dear mother’s knee
Our love and lives are intertwined
for all of us to see
The threads with which I stitch today
connect our family”
This verse can be altered to match your own stitching experience. Here's another option:
"My Aunt (Sister, etc) loved her fancywork and passed it on to me. I practiced well my needleart and share it all with thee. Our love and lives are intertwined for all of us to see. The threads with which I stitch today connect our family"
The sampler is full of fun specialty stitches. An accessory pack is available containing all the silk threads and beads needed to complete this long sampler. (You will also need a ball of #12 white pearl cotton).
Stitch count: 434h x 64w
(31”h x 4.6”w on 28 count linen)

This lovely 15-sided Biscornu is available as a kit which includes the silk floss, pearl cotton, buttons, beads, and 25-count antique white Lugana. I love the pretty hardanger motifs on the sides.
You may want to join us in March for our 2-night class to do the stitching and at our "Finishing Technique of the Month" class in April to do the construction.
Bumble Bee Lace
This pretty design features hardanger, drawn thread, and pulled thread in the border as well as stumpwork and silk ribbon embroidery in the center design.
We are considering teaching this as a summer class. Please let us know if you would be interested in this.
