Title: My First Embroidery Book: A Name Sampler
Author: Winky Cherry
In this book, children make a name sampler, following the rhymes to learn a variety of simple embroidery stitches:
Straight running stitches done in three different directions (horizontal, vertical and diagonal)
- Plus Variations (parallel lines)
- The Cross Stitch
- Satin Stitch
The squares on gingham fabric provide the grid on which they make their stitches.
The book comes as part of a kit which includes:
- embroidery hoop
- gingham fabric
- Flannel backing fabric
- Five colors of crochet thread...enough for one name sampler
For Children Ages 5 to 11
