Running with Needles & Scissors ~ My Father’s House Magdalena van der Byl 1856 Pattern

Description

This fabulous Dutch sampler was a joy to stitch, although it was quite the commitment. The border features lovely flowers including pansies. Magdalena stitched this sampler when she was 12 years old in wool. I have chosen to stitch it in a variety of lovely silks. The charts for the scissor fob and the needlebook are included as well.
