LZ Dutch 1913 Sampler Pattern PDF
This sampler hails from the Netherlands, a more unusual version from this time period. The original is quite large and stitched on a large count of even-weave cotton fabric. There are some definite art deco influences noticeable. It is very fortunate that the paper ribbon border survived with this sampler. I am so grateful.
