Journey With Sibbel, A - An 18th Century Orphan’s Study of Needlework |
|
FROM STORE OVERSTOCK, NEVER USED...From Kansas
City Star, authors Susan Greening
Davis and Sally Criswell found Sibbel’s sampler
in
Belgium, fell in love with it and brought it to
America. Through their research, they have
opened
a window for us to see what life for Sibbel was
like growing up in the 1700s, learning
needlework
techniques and coming to love stitching.
Within
these pages is an interpretation of Sibbel’s
young
life in a Netherlands charity home. As Sibbel
creates the motifs in her sampler and learns
special joining stitches, you are invited to
stitch along. What you will have created is a
stunning showpiece. In the project pages, you
can
create many of the items Sibbel would have
made,
such as her leather pincushion or the gorgeous
stitching weight used to hold her sampler in
place.
