Product Description
Product Description
Brenda Keyes inspires stitchers to create their own heirlooms of the future based on beautiful antique sampler designs. Here she celebrates the art of sampler making throughout the ages, gathering together ideas and inspiration from the past to create a comprehensive collection of traditional designs. The twenty samplers featured cover a range of subjects reflecting five main themes: authentic reproduction samplers; the naive charm of schoolroom samplers; designs marking important life milestones; celebrations of childhood; and flora and fauna samplers. Brenda also shows how easy it is to extract details from the samplers to create quick-to-work gifts for family and friends. Most of the projects are worked in cross stitch, but a whole range of classic 'sampler' stitches are also included, with clear explanatory diagrams.

Brenda Keyes excels herself with this book. If you are a fan of her style of work, you will LOVE this. Even if you don't even pick up a needle and fabric, you can spend many enjoyable hours just looking at the beautiful pictures.

I purchased this book to help in the design for a sampler for a special event. I have found it invaluable for inspiration and although I have not used any particular design in the book I have used elements from them.
