Reproduction Sampler

AW 1662 Reproduction Sampler Kit
This beautifully stitched English band sampler, was stitched almost entirely in Montenegrin cross stitch and double running stitch. It features numerous traditional pattern bands as well as some unique bands including one resembling white snowflakes within an interlocking diamond maze. The sampler can be stitched using cross stitch, making it suitable for any skill level. If you choose to stitch it with Montenegrin cross stitch it will be more challenging!
