This is a reproduction of a band sampler in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England.

What is most unusual is the wide, flowing floral pattern in the upper third, that has only been previously documented on Italian embroideries of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

Stitches used include double running, cross, seeding, trellis, eyelet, and counted satin.

You can see parts of this sampler in close up below.

Kit contains 35 count linen, needle, instructions and thread of your choice.

Finished size: 10-3/4"x30-3/4"
