The Scarlet Letter The Scottish Band 1760 Sampler Kit NEW Cross Stitch DIY

The Scarlet Letter The Scottish Band of circa 1760 Sampler Kit. Includes what is pictured here- 30 count unbleached linen, needle, cotton floss and instructions. May require additional materials not included. Finished size marked as 9 1/2" x 19". New in package. This bold sampler with its deep jewel-like colors was designed after an equally brilliant Scottish band of the mid-18th century. The original was worked with fine, bright, unfaded wool threads on a homespun linen ground. We have never seen such an unusual illuminated alphabet before, and coupled with the solid arcaded daisy border and the eyelet stitched scallops and shimmering flamestitch band below, it makes an impressive statement. It is worked in a color scheme often seen on Scottish samplers; strong reds and greens. *All measurements are approximate.*
