Sit back and close your eyes. Imagine two young girls sitting in the parlor in their 19th century home in England. They are sisters with the last name of Shields, and their heads are bent over their needlework.
The samplers they've stitched use similar motifs, but clearly reflect the nature of each girl. The older of the two used more sedate colors than her younger sister, who used orange and black with wild abandon.
The different tones and personalities of the samplers inspired the projects in this booklet. You'll find reproduction charts of the original sampler as well three other projects made with Halloween and Christmas in mind. 24 pages, soft cover.
