Sisters by Blackbird Designs

From the designer: "Sisters is our newest book. I found two early 19th century samplers from England on E-bay . I called Barb, and we decided to purchase them after about 2 seconds of discussion. They were made by sisters with the last name of Shields. The samplers they’ve stitched use similar motifs, but clearly reflect the nature of each girl. The older of the two used more sedate colors than her younger sister, who used orange and black with wild abandon. The different tones and personalities of the samplers inspired the pieces in this booklet. You’ll find reproduction charts of the original samplers as well 2 other samplers made with Halloween in mind and one just right for Christmas. Barb and I had lots of fun with this one and hope you do too!"
