MARGRET GATIS 1711

The focal point of this amazing English band sampler is its knot garden, which we have never before seen depicted in quite this fashion. Traditional pattern bands feature a unique twist on brightly colored roses and rosebuds, carnations, violets, diaper patterns, and deeply cut undulating borders. Sections of whitework, and a cutwork band, complete this exceptional sampler which is worked over a combination of two and three threads of linen. Clear detailed charts and instructions are provided for all sections including the cutwork.
