You find Sibmachers Lamb of God in the middle of the
sampler surrounded by several baroque borders. In former
times "The motifs are rarely the embroideresses'
own creations; rather, they can be traced back to a
very old treasure-trove of shapes which may well have
been spread in Central Europe by silk fabrics imported
from the Orient and from Italy ... Fashion, too, had
a significant part to play since articles of clothing
and household textiles had been decorated with embroideries
ever since the early 16th century. In this way, collections
of various trimming ribbons began to enjoy a great deal
of popularity" (see: Anne Wanner-JeanRichard: Muster
und Zeichen gestickt und gesammelt auf textilem Grund,
page 9)
The kit is available in red and grey.
