'From Grandma's Needlebox'
Comprising a counting pattern and booklet
(In Dutch, English translation available)

The counting pattern is a reproduction of the original sampler by S.I.M.1860, true to nature as much as possible. She embroidered in cross-stitches on hand-woven linen when she was approximately 10 years old. It was probably her first sampler because there are four alphabets. In the first alphabet the I is a J. In the second alphabet the G is a crowned G This sampler is made in cross-stitches over 4 threads. The use of exclusively black silk is typical of the samplers of Groningen (see below - 'Black Embroidered Samplers from Groningen, Holland').

Please note that although the booklet is in Dutch, an English translation is now available as an accompaniment - not a separate book. The instructions for the counting pattern are in English!

To overseas purchasers, the booklet and counting pattern pack is priced at £11.50 plus p & p.
