A Dutch Sampler – Cross Stitch Pattern by Kathy Barrick

“It was love at first sight when I found this antique sampler.  It came to me from Virginia, and spent a good amount of time in Vermont.  Where it spent time before that is a mystery.  I believe the antique was stitched in The Netherlands as the motifs in the sampler are typical to that area, most especially the church, the storks, the large birds, the flower baskets and the well.”

Our antique reproduction is stitched on 40-Count Havanna from Weeks Dye Works using Needlepoint Silks and Willow Green Silk ‘N Colors from The Thread Gatherer.  This sampler is stitched almost exclusively in cross stitch.

Stitch Count: 246 x 318

NPS used:  293, 565, 692, 693, 706, 813, 876, 957, 992.  Two skeins of   will be needed.
