Cross Stitch Antique Sampler Wins My Vote
 
Review Date: February 4, 2010
Reviewer: Port Wynn "Yankee", PNW, USA
This is a fabulous book about antique samplers created almost entirely with cross stitch. Where used, there are also instructions for Hardinger, Blackwork and some embroidery stitches. All well demonstrated in clear language and well illustrated in charts and pictures. Lots of history, tips, preservation information and charting motifs for individual pieces as well as entire samplers. There is a large variety of styles to appeal to any cross stitch fan. I am so glad I invested in my copy. For me it is an essential resource. Jane Greenoff is a wonderful teacher. I also suggest "The New Cross Stitcher's Bible" by Jane. This too is an invaluable addition to my library.
Great for Antique Cross-Stitch lovers
