CrossStitcher  |  September 2020
WE HOPE THESE strange times have sparked a new interest in stitching. We have heard from so many of you who have picked up a needle again after a long break, or turned to teaching youngsters at home how to cross stitch when so many of their other activities can’t take place. Now we are into the official school holidays, it would be nice to think that the cry of “I’m bored!” could be replaced with “what can I stitch next?” We can only dream...
Of course, many pieces of antique stitching were made by girls as young as eight. Their ‘samplers’, or practice pieces, are quite magical and often
influence what we stitch today. In these very pages you’ll fi nd the third of our seasonal sampler series (on page 38). Cheryl Mckinnon has combined all the traditional elements of motifs, borders and quotes that are so rewarding to stitch. For something smaller, how about our mini samplers
made into cards on page 51? Or create a box from embroidery hoops (page 23), the top is very traditional and could have come straight from an old sampler with its little house and flower urns.
Happy stitching!
