A Most Noble Pursuit


Visit A Stitch and a Prayer Store to purchase this design.

Ten of your favorite design companies have joined forces to create a limited-edition collaboration sampler, A Most Noble Pursuit.  This sampler is scheduled to be released at the Nashville Needlework Market in February 2006!!

The designers involved in this project are Ann and Liz of Brightneedle, Kathy of Carriage House Samplings,  Tracy of Hands to Work, Lori of La D Da, Tricia of Patricia Ann Designs, Susan and Pam of Praiseworthy Stitches, Cathy of Primitive Traditions, Vicki of A Stitch and A Prayer, Ellen of With My Needle, and Candy and Mary of The Workbasket. Each of the ten designers has designed a block. The blocks can all be stitched to make a very large sampler or the blocks can be stitched individually. All ten charts will be packaged together with a  photograph of the stitched piece on the product cover.

Sampler Details  This is a large sampler—408 stitches wide by 242 stitches high.

Linen    The model uses 36-count hand-dyed linen from Lakeside LinensLakeside Linens will be offering a custom-sized cut in 36-count Light Examplar. This cut will be available in both the standard and vintage versions. Please contact your local shop for purchasing information. The cut size before dyeing will be approximately 27 x 20 inches. This does NOT allow for the usual 6 inch  margin on the width, it will be closer to 4 inches which is ample if you are not planning on matting your sampler.  If you prefer a larger margin, we suggest you purchase a half yard cut which is approximately 27 x 36 inches and work this project with the selvedge at the top or bottom edge.

Threads   Our model is stitched using  Needlepoint Inc. silk threads. Mark of Needlepoint Inc. will be assembling  special thread packs for the sampler. DMC substitutions will be provided on the chart.

Framing  Cathy Campbell of Primitive Traditions will be framing the model in one of her beautiful hand-grained frames. Ask Cathy about making one of her frames for your sampler.
