Welcome to the website of The Antique SamplerStitcher Digital Magazine, which is focused towards everyone who loves to either read about, design or just look at embroidered samplers.
The magazine is available by subscription of 6 copies each year. It's full of beautiful sampler designs, ideas and motifs for you to work and collect, and help towards creating your own.
There's a variety of information on books, museums, exhibitions, competition, suppliers, useful sites, sewing tips, articles, motif collection, clubs and workshops to join, stitch glosseries and children's corner, and a great deal more.
When you subscribe to the magazine, you will be sent an attachment by e-mail to automatically download the new issue. Open the attachment, and there's your magazine, which can be stored either on compact disc or filed on your computer. No more newsagents and no more missing out on your favourite issue because they've sold out. What better way to receive a magazine every two months straight to your own home, and it won't get lost in the post.
The magazine is based in England, but is available all over the world, so everyone can enjoy what it has to offer, no matter where you live.
Remember sampler enthusiasts, this is your magazine, so your letters, contributions etc. are most welcome and will appear in future issues.
If you click on the subjects listed, they will provide additional information about what the magazine has to offer.
My aim in producing this kind of magazine is to let it be a guide, and to help preserve what we have learnt from past works, and hopefully create samplers in the future, never allowing this art of needlework to disappear.
I look forward to hearing from you and sharing with you the love of samplers, be they old or new.
Kindest regards,
Lesley Wilkins.
