OPUS MAGNUSSON [More Info] chart only $39 “Icelandic samplers were strictly geometric and often used circular
of polygonal frames. Having established the basic area, motifs were
then embroidered within the spaces. Subjects ranged from flora and
fauna to hunting scenes and religious icons. These samplers were
heavily influenced by Norse and Celtic imagery. Here an example
in the frequent use of intertwined knots and ropes. Equally stylized
flowers and animals are rooted firmly in the Northern European tradition.
Similar patterns can also be seen on traditional Icelandic wall
hangings and bed covers which were worked in dyed wool.” Description by Julia Line. Copyright by Julia Line $39 |

TOBASCO [More Info] chart only $35 “Mexican samplers (dechados de Mexico) are generally more elongated than their Spanish counterparts. They were frequently haphazard in structure, often unfinished and were rarely ever intended to be framed for display………. ……. Early Mexican samplers featured pre-conquest motifs such as Gods, toads, snakes and birds along with traditional scroll patterns and diamond shapes. During the 19th century, the arrival into the country of pattern books and Berlin patterns, resulted in the use of non-ethnic descriptions such as lions.” Stitch count: 213 x 375 Description by Julia Line.

ALBION [More Info] chart only $13 Design Area: 205 x 264 “This design has been inspired by the little known, and somewhat naïve, Norwich, (Norfolk, England), school of samplers. Some examples exist dating from the end of the 18th century to the early part of the 19th century, and are noted for their castellated hexagonal frames and extensive use of floral motifs. It is thought that this style was relatively short lived, spanning not more than half a century.” Copyright by Julia Line. Description thanks to Julia $13 |
