CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY
CHAPTER Saturday, June 17th, 2017
Worked on 30-count vanilla linen, this lovely, “peaceable” sampler will provide hours of
pleasurable stitching. The top section features a lady in her garden complete with dogs,
lilacs and bee skeps. The center has a colonial home reminiscent of the houses in Williamsburg,
VA, “alphabet trees”, a family, pets and plenty of birds. The center bottom area has an over-1
village scene surrounded by the wild woods and various woodland creatures. The piece is outlined
by a flowing strawberry border.
Stitches used include long arm cross, Smyrna cross, stem, diagonal satin, padded satin, petit point,
colonial knot, straight, spiral trellis and several others.
A myriad of colorful silk and cotton threads are used to create this scene. All threads are
included in your kit.
Finished size is 17 ½” x 19 ½”.
