While I Darn SamplerThis sampler was inspired by an antique embroidered piece found on June 2005 at the flea market in Berlin, Germany.
I found the little sampler at the very bottom of a big basket and I took it with me to Italy as a special remembrance of our lovely visit to that town. I got in love with the sampler motifs and for this reason I decided to give a new life to the design.

This "darning sewing set" was inspired by an antique embroidered piece found on June 2005 at the flea market in Berlin, Germany.
I found the little sampler at the very bottom of a big basket and I took it with me to Italy as a special remembrance of our lovely visit to that town. The old Berlin sampler was stitched with one strand of silk, and stitches are so small that I had to scan and enlarge the sections in order to be able to chart the motifs.

The model, stitched on a perforated paper stocking published by Tokens and Trifles, is mounted on a wooden thread keeper created for us by Bloom Woodworks. A free chart, # 2 Alsace, is available with each purchase of the thread keeper.
