Description: This is an unusual sampler featuring an over one alphabet incorporated into the outer border. Against a tapestry-look background, a framed panel contains a mountain-top castle and wind-swept clouds. The lord and lady of the castle hold court beneath the castle scene, enjoying music being played by a group of minstrels. Background Information: Samplers, in all their forms, are wonderful vehicles for designers: allowing the combination of separate, yet related elements within one framework. Castles have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. Highly romanticized visions of courtly life, with its accompanying code of behavior known as chivalry are wonderful escapes from today's fast-paced industrial and technological society. This piece was designed as an attempt to capture some of that magic...
Stitching Comments: A fairly difficult piece, due to its size, blended threads, quarter stitches, and the incorporation over-one elements which are charted separately. Specialty Stitches: diamond eyelet Important Tips: Charting Technique, Large Designs, Organizing Floss
