Biltmore Estate Petite Sampler
Counted Cross Stitch Kit

In days gone by, samplers were stitched by young girls to practice and to display their embroidery skills. Many of these sampler patterns and designs were handed down from one generation to the next. Today, samplers are being revived as a reminder of the rich heritage of our past. The motif of this petite sampler features Biltmore Estate. Built in 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt, Biltmore House is America's largest home. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, the 250-room French-style château was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt. Over a century later the Biltmore Estate continues to welcome visitors year-round.
