ByGone Stitches
by gail reinhardt

Traditional reproduction samplers and traditional sampler style originals. Gail Reinhardt has been with Stitching Pretty since day one in 1989. She began designing in the 1990's because she couldn't help it! As Gail tells it, she woke up one morning with a verse in her head and decided to create a sampler around it. All excited she called to tell of "thoughts of stitches from long ago" and she hasn't stopped since! Inspired by Quaker pieces and the Ackworth collection but with a different twist, that is only Gail, she claimed her ground in the design industry with Quaker Christmas and Quaker Virtues

Quaker Christmas 2
(New)
Second to the original Quaker Christmas sampler created by Gail Reinhardt of ByGone Stitches, this new piece Quaker Christmas II, focuses on the "Songs of the Season". Done on 28ct Light Examplar the Stitch count is 240w X 350h (17-1/8"w X 25"h) it uses Gentle Art sampler threads in Currant (115yds) and Blue Spruce (25 yds). Gail had fun creatively "hiding" symbols of songs as well as some of the song titles, scattered throughout the sampler. See if you can find: We Three Kings, The Little Drummer Boy, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, I Saw Three Ships, Sleigh Ride, What Child Is This, A Partridge In A Pear Tree, and Frosty The Snowman.
