Embroidery/Cross Stitch

Our newest addi­tion!  You will love the pat­terns by Vic­to­ria Sam­pler.  This is a lovely com­pany located in Canada.  The designs are as sweet as the women who make them!  We highly rec­om­mend the acces­sory packs.  The work of find­ing all the spe­cialty threads is done for you.  I can­not tell you how hard it is to locate some of these notions.  Your basic JoAnn’s usu­ally does not carry the right embroi­dery threads sug­gested.  Kits range from begin­ner to inter­me­di­ate to advanced.  We will try to label them accordingly.

Q is for Quilter

“Q” is for Quil­ter is the six­teenth sam­pler in a set of 24 com­bi­na­tion sam­plers that focus on a dif­fer­ent let­ter of the Alpha­bet. Each includes var­i­ous dec­o­ra­tive alpha­bet let­ters, hun­dreds of new and tra­di­tional spot motifs and spe­cialty stitches all start­ing with the let­ter “Q”.
The very last sam­pler includes X, Y and Z. Each sam­pler is stitched using a palette of earthy yet vibrant col­ors of silk floss, glo­ri­ously deli­cious over-dyed silks, per­lee silks, and beads.
You can use the place­ment of the hem­stitch­ing on the Main Chart to help you edge a bellpull, or you can either include or leave out the hem­stitch­ing and frame as is. Check the set-up instruc­tions at the back of this leaflet, for the size of the 28ct Plat­inum Linen rec­om­mended for this hang­ing and where to place the “Q” sampler.

“Wel­come Sampler”

Includ­ing Keep­sake Bag and Wel­come Banner!

 

The word “Wel­come” is an invi­ta­tion of warmth, hap­pi­ness, good con­ver­sa­tion and time spent with those we love. An oppor­tu­nity for grow­ing friendships…and now you can share those feel­ings by stitch­ing one or both of these sam­plers, place them at the entrances of your home to wel­come every­one who comes to visit. It is my prayer that your home is a place that expe­ri­ences growth in love, fam­ily and friend­ships. Each sam­pler is stitched on 28ct Antique White Quaker Cloth using beau­ti­ful silks, tiny beads and pearls. The col­ors are warm and invit­ing and many of the bands are in the flo­ral theme. Flow­ers are sym­bols of growth and beauty which are the basis of any home. Sam­plers are suited to be framed or made into bellpulls. Also included is a “Keep­sake Bag” to wel­come a new neigh­bor, a new baby, or a new mem­ber to the fam­ily. Fill it up with spe­cial items before giv­ing. Enjoy stitch­ing these Wel­come Sam­plers for your­self and shar­ing them with all those who enter your home. Happy Stitch­ing — Yvonne from VS
