In the following you see some photos, showing how to create
a very special atmosphere with samplers.
Since more than 150 years you will find framed samplers decorating
the walls of livingrooms, bedrooms, kitchens and halls to
bear witness of the diligence and the good taste of the stitcher.

Upon some of the
samplers you can find a link. You
can order the chart (or kit) for the sampler with a link, it
leads you to further informations. |

"Samplers that lack graphic punch or that are predominantly
monochromatic, have their greatest impact when hung for close
viewing rather than to be seen across the room.... In contrast,
samplers that are colorful and graphic can successfully be
the focal point of an entire room or area, if they are large
enough."

Since more than 150 years "the
pieces continue to add a typ of warmth, beauty and cultural
depth to an environment that eclipses that of most, if not all,
other forms of antique decorative arts." |

The kitchen plays host to a lot of activity and
is the hub of the household, so this is a room that should look
cheerful. The beautiful Vierlande samplers are the eyecatcher
in this kitchen, fitting perfectly to the elegant blue lampshade
and the blue bench. |
