Brenda Keyes' Traditional Samplers

Reproduce a wealth of historic, antique samplers. Reach back in time to when schoolroom motifs, intricate band samplers, and personalized handwork commemorated every occasion. Embroider samplers with alphabets and homey sayings. Stitch a Little Girls' Birth Sampler in pink-and-white or an Edwardian Boy's Birth Sampler. Give others at weddings, housewarmings, christenings, and anniversaries. Or make a colorful, springlike work with flora, birds, and other fauna. Bonus projects include pillows, bookmarks, and bags. Every one is a classic!
