Button Sampler #193, The Victoria Sampler

“Button, Button... Who's got the Button?" Celebrate your love of buttons and stitch this adorable pastel “Button” Sampler! There are over 15 places to add buttons sprinkled among the floral motifs, lettering, Hardanger, and other specialty stitches! Suitable for an antique or modern decor, this sampler is just the thing to spend some time on this season. At the top is a lovely urn holding stylized flowers, surrounded by birds and cats. The lace is all stitched with cream threads and makes this a really feminine sampler whether you stitch it on matching Light Sand Cashel or another colour that suits your fancy. You will enjoy stitching bands of specialty stitches, flowers, and lovely Hardanger lace, as you work with the 5 overdyed silk flosses and other plain silk flosses which were chosen for their joy and happy feelings. Stitch it with joy, frame or turn into a wallhanging, and give it to your button-loving friend, or be daring, and hang it in your own home.
