Stitch Across Time

Stitch Across Time - where to begin.

Antique & vintage cross stitch samplers have been preserved across time & gathered into collections all over the world. Here is my guide to some of my favourite antique cross stitch samplers available for you to purchase on Etsy today. Beautiful and rare authentic historical samplers are very collectable antiques carrying traces of time and can be seen in my Antique Historical Sampler Guide.

Many historical cross stitch samplers have been lovingly recreated as reproduction patterns and kits for you to 'stitch across time' and connect directly to the past today and create your own beautiful heirloom samplers. My Historical Sampler Guide will introduce you to some of my favourites available on Etsy for you to choose to recreate today. Or you can use the link below to visit my store to purchase my first reproduction sampler. 

There are also of course lots of new modern cross stitch designs that encorporate all the old stitches in new exciting patterns. there are so many wonderful, vibrant patterns for you to choose from. Taking old ideas and making them new is perhaps my favourite way to 'stitch across time'. I have gathered some of my favourites in my Modern Cross Stitch Sampler Guide.

When you have choosen your patttern it is time to choose your floss or silk. My Floss & Silk Thread Shopping Guide is a guide to some popular floss and thread creaters on Etsy and their beautiful threads for stitching cross stitch or embroidery designs. 

There are so many lovely samplers & stitching resources on offer that it's not possible to list all of them here for you, but by visiting these stores they will lead you to much more to enjoy discovering, exploring and collecting.   

The items listed in these guides are often one of a kind and will of course sell over time. If an item is no longer available visit the shop links to see what other items they have on offer or visit the Latch Farm Studio Collection link as a starting point.
