Regina Hiable had a very special eye for a soft and feminine colour palette. Brenda couldn't resist the temptation of this small sampler, it's beautiful. With just DMC threads Brenda was able to reproduce Regina's soft colours pretty closely. The bird motif was too pretty not to do a bit more with. Using the antique sampler as her inspiration, Brenda designed a small coordinating pincushion that is also included in the pattern booklet. The stitcher can personalise the pincushion with their own initials or a loved one to personalise the finish.
Stitch counts are 213 W x 220 H for the Sampler and 87 W x 93 H for the Birds in the Bough Pincushion.
