The Antique Thread Winder Sampler Stitched...

The Needleart Nut is going to stitch Loretta's Antique Thread Winder Sampler on her blog.  Stay tuned!

She is using white Congress cloth and ThreadworX overdyed floss and perle cotton in a pale lavender/mint green mix with a touch of pink.  Very springtime!

You can see as Pat works the design that it really is a band sampler.  Each row changes to a different pattern, and sometimes a different thread.

Two more, and a start on a series of darning patterns.

The darning patterns are very pretty!

The side and bottom borders are very pretty as well. They are unusual.

Here is the final result with an old mother of pearl thread winder attached in the bottom right corner.
