Paradise Revisited

Another book for the embroidery lover – this time Rebecca is covering British Sampler and Historic Embroideries 1590-1880. It is colour throughout with 48 pages and a wide variety of stitching styles and genre. Printed on high-quality glossy paper. It has 48 delicious pages!

I am naturally drawn to Witney Antiques, a remarkable gallery in Oxfordshire which has the largest collection of historic embroideries in Europe. I regard the owner, my friend Rebecca Scott, as the fount of all knowledge when talking about samplers and the history of this genre. Rebecca has collected samplers and other early embroideries for many years and is so knowledgeable. Although her soft back, full-colour books are originally designed to support exhibitions held at the gallery, they are amazing works. All her books are a joy and a must for the sampler lover.
