Peacock Sampler

This gorgeous Peacock Sampler will take your breath away! It is just the right size, neither too big nor too small for the perfect learning project. Using luscious over-dyed silks, silk flosses, metallics, gold fillagree heart charm and even some lustrous pearls and sparkling beads, you will enjoy practicing some lovely needlework techniques as you complete the sampler. Hardanger, Drawn Thread, and various specialty stitched areas are all simple but effective areas to learn. When you are finished you will be able to display your precious work on your walls or finish it as a pillow or even a large Tote to carry your stitching frame, charts and materials with you.
