The Book of Samplers

The Book of Samplers by Marguerite Fawdry & Deborah Brown

The Book of Samplers traces the history of the sampler down to the present day when they have found renewed popularity among both antique collectors and those seeking relaxation in needlework. This book, lavishly illustrated in color and monochrome, is the first work to look at samplers both historically and practically. Each historical chapter is followed by a practical section explaining, with all the necessary diagrams, the stitches and motifs found on the samplers.
