The Quaker Sampler Book

This is another of the CSG stitched books completed by Jane Herbert and is part of the collection of finished work I have on offer to my treasure hunters.

The CSG has been much involved in presenting designs inspired by the Sampler collection at Ackworth School near Pontefract. This little book is filled with motifs inspired by the collection.

The book measures 4.5 x 5.5in (11.5 x 14cm) closed and will be supplied gift boxed and will be sent by Special Delivery.

These little stitched books have become a feature of Cross Stitch Guild Membership over the past 30 years. This versatile and creative way of learning and presenting all types of counted embroidery is becoming very popular and was introduced to our Members by Sue Hawkins (our Technical Editor at this time). Sue and I had taken a party of stitchers to Copenhagen and visited the Museum of Art and History where we were shown a little stitched book and that inspired Sue – and the rest, they say is history!
