MARGRET GATIS 1711 |
|
The focal point of this amazing English
band sampler is its knot garden, which we have never before seen
depicted in quite this fashion. Traditional pattern bands feature
a unique twist on brightly colored roses and rosebuds, carnations,
violets, diaper patterns, and deeply cut undulating borders.
Sections of whitework, and a cutwork band, complete this exceptional
sampler which is worked over a combination of two and three threads
of linen. Clear detailed charts and instructions are provided
for all sections including the cutwork. |
