Quaker Sampler: A Secret Sky a Cross Stitch Pattern by Modern Folk Embroidery

An original cross-stitch sampler inspired by traditional Quaker designs. This Quaker sampler features a quote by the Sufi mystic & poet Rumi: "This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment". Stitched on 32 count linen (or 16 count aida) it would measure approximately 45 by 40 cm. Worked with 2 pulled strands of floss, between 89 and 115 metres of 6-stranded cotton would be required. This design features full crosses only and is suitable for both linen and aida stitching.
