Bathya ~ c.1680

Cross stitch pattern from Hands Across the Sea Samplers. This is a lovely reproduction of a reversible English band sampler. Bathya stitched her sampler with 15 vibrant shades of silks, ingeniously devising stitch patterns and motifs. These colours are taken from the front!!! There is so much to delight in her sampler. She used a wide repertoire of stitches of varying intricacy. Stitch count is 140W x 490H.
