Running With Needles & Scissors - My Father's House - Magdalena Van der Bijil 1856

Running With Needles & Scissors - My Father's House - Magdalena Van der Bijil 1856

This fabulous Dutch sampler was a joy to stitch, although it was quite the commitment.  The border features lovely flowers including pansies. Magdalena stitched this sampler when she was 12 years old in wool.  I have chosen to stitch it in a variety of lovely silks. The charts for the scissor fob and the needlebook are included as well.
