12 Days of Christmas Giveaway - Day 10

 

The giveaway for Day 10 is the small book on the samplers from the collection of Alexandra Peters which have been exhibited at the Litchfield Historical Society.  It is a lovely book which contains the research that Alexandra did on her wonderful pieces - many of which have quite astounding stories.

If you are interested in the giveaway - send me an email at tricia@alum.mit.edu.  In the email:

• Put Alexandra in the subject message
• In the body of the message, put your mailing address.

Get the message to me by midnight EST on December 25th.  

If you have loved whitework samplers, my 17th century Whitework Samplers course is starting again on February 1st.  This is a course that mixes learning techniques, making two sampler projects and a lace border, as well as teaching you how to design samplers of this type on your own.  Interspersed is some history and lots about the pattern books of the period where many of the patterns were found.  It is the type of class that you can use to do the projects but come back to time and time again as a reference for other projects you may be doing or to design your own.  Become a master of whitework!
