Original Design and Stamped Samplers

ORIGINAL DESIGN and
SILK-SCREENED (STAMPED) SAMPLERS
ALPHABETICAL INDEX ALL SAMPLERS

Taking inspiration from the work of our foremothers, we have designed some of our own samplers using traditional motifs and techniques. These include some sampler designs that have been silk-screened onto the linen (stamped*) since certain designs do not lend themselves to charting.

CLICK on the sampler ICON to see an enlarged photo and detailed description of the sampler.
