Golden Child - Sampler Reproduction by The Stitchery SistersThe moment I saw this antique sampler, I had to have it. I love cross stitch text and the Variations of text along with the other details on this sampler is beautiful. The original sampler pictured above has a verse in German which I have converted into English for my version of this sampler and it reads Still, gentle and mild, a golden child. A truly remarkable sampler from 1890 It includes a full detailed pattern. For colour like the original
