Shelburne Museum

Stamped-On
Cross Stitch
Design

The design for this kit is stamped onto muslin fabric using a special ink. The pattern is easily stitched directly over the symbols. No counting is required. The stamped-on pattern washes out with cold water. The final project fits a standard 5" by 7" frame (not included). This is a wonderful kit for beginners.

Colonial Sheep Sampler
Stamped-On Cross Stitch Kit

In days gone by, young girls stitched samplers to practice and to display their embroidery skills. Today, samplers are being revived as a reminder of the rich heritage of our past. During colonial times, sheep provided a popular means for both clothing and food. Early breeds included the Leicester Longwool and the Merino. Most of these colonial breeds had nearly died out by the early 20th century. However, a number of historic sites have established their own flocks so that visitors can enjoy them today.

Finished size: 4 ¾" by 6 ½ " on old-fashioned muslin. Kit includes muslin with stamped-on cross stitch pattern, embroidery hoop, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Barbara Bangser and Ceil Humphreys for The Posy Collection.
