This pattern is from TH.De. Dillmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework.
I worked this sampler in 1999. It was my first drawn thread embroidery attempt. Now I use it as a sampler to teach my students this technique.
This is one of my unfinished projects. I cut the wrong thread accidentally and it has been lying around for at least five years now. Unfortunately, it cannot be salvaged. One of the downsides to choosing an elaborate project.
Dillmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework is a treasure I inherited from my grandmother in 1989. I never knew that there were so many aspects to needlework. I finally discovered that I was really good at something. This was my introduction into whole new world. Until then reading was my only hobby. Last year, I happened upon Split Ring Tatting. I realised even if I learn about needlework to my dying day, there would still be a lot of things I'd never even heard about.
