  Give a time-honored style a modern twist! An expert designer draws on the visual strength of historic samplers -- their alphabets, verses, and borders -- and produces fresh, contemporary embroideries with new thread colors, exciting fabrics, and stunning embellishments. Seasonal designs reveal the wonders associated with that time of year, while other patterns commemorate special occasions. An array of gift tags, trinket boxes, sachets, cards, and trinkets are based on motifs taken from the main samplers.
