This is the very first issue of Antique SamplerStitch Digital Magazine. Here is a sneak preview of the contents, full of lovely sampler designs for you to embroider. There is the first motif for you to begin to build up your design library, an article on past design layouts influencing future designs with a large sampler to embroider. Also a band sampler, plus for the kids, a page especially for you each issue, where you will find basic starter samplers for you to begin cross stitch embroidery.

There is information of how to become involved in the magazine, either through contributions to share with fellow sampler enthusiasts, workshop and clubs in your area, sampler pals, future exhibitions, material suppliers, articles about the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Sampler Guild, children's corner, motif collection, and plenty of designs.

Remember, Antique SamplerStitcher does not contain historical articles or reproductions for you to embroider. It's main aim is to provide you with new designs to make, and inspiration to build up a library collection of information for you to design your own, at the same time keeping the same style and character found in samplers of the past, enabling the past to continue into the future.

Once you subscribe to Antique SamplerStitcher, you become part of a very special club, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.
