Margaret’s Holdall & Pin Wheel
Step back in time to 1795 with Margaret Mutter and her Sampler from the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts.
I borrowed motifs from the sampler to design this 7” W x 4”H self-lined Holdall and Pin Wheel.
The Holdall has an inner pocket that is just large enough to tuck your heart shaped Pin Wheel, embroidery Scissors, and threads into and it is secured with the softest of silk ribbons.
We will use Cedar River Pyrite linen, 11 colors of Needle Point Inc. silks and one spool of Au Ver A Soie 100.3 to create the projects as we incorporate seven stitches into the design.
Finishing the Holdall is a snap with my self-lined technique and kits will include Pellon and Skirtex.
A copy of the sampler that I have reproduced for MESDA is included in the kit. Bring usual stitching supplies.
