Discover the ultimate collection of beautiful Quaker embroidery designs, from needlework expert Lesley Wilkins.

A treasure trove of inspiration, this book contains an extraordinary range of Quaker medallion, motif and sampler designs, all created using just two simple stitches: cross stitch and backstitch. Lesley's designs bring a modern twist to this traditional craft: they are full of colour and charm, and feature popular subjects including birds, flowers, wreaths and monograms.

The book contains:

  • 10 traditional and 10 modern samplers, each with a full stitch chart and stunning photography;
  • 180 individual charted motifs and medallions that you can use to build up your own sampler designs;
  • 3 full alphabets in both upper and lower case so that you can customize your designs in quintessential Quaker style;
  • 2 modern projects: a Quaker motif heart and a pincushion with a half medallion pattern;
  • An overview of the history of the Quaker sampler and the mystery surrounding its origins;
  • A complete guide to the tools, materials and techniques needed, making this the perfect introduction for embroiderers of all abilities.
