Hands Across The Sea Sampler - Sarah Rinder 1841
Join us to celebrate our 25th Anniversary with an amazing sampler from Hands Across The Sea Samplers - Sarah Rinder 1841. We will now taking orders upon announcement for the chart, materials and threads. Those who order a full kit of chart, threads and fabric before March 15th will also receive a special Miss Minnie McBean Fripperie that coordinates with Sarah Rinder 1841. We expect to ship on April & May.
We have created a Stitch-a-long group on Facebook for Sarah Rinder 1841 for those that wish to join us in a year long stitching journey with Sarah's lovely birds. Our Facebook SAL kick off will be at the end of March for NIAH's 25th Anniversary and will start with a discussion on threads and fabric for Sarah since many might not be familiar with all of the choices. We plan to commence stitching in May once we have been able to obtain and ship supplies to those who pre-order. Cheri Cluff Edington has graciously agreed to lead Sarah's SAL for us. While at Jean Lea's Sampler Symposium in January, Cheri, Cathe and Nicola recorded a video with the model of Sarah Rinder 1841 discussing the design. You can find that on our NIAH YouTube channel.
The chart is an exclusive limited edition sampler for NIAH and is only available from us. For those purchasing the chart we will also be sending a single page PDF of the entire chart so you can stitch from your portable device. This is only available with the purchase of a physical chart and is not available separately. Those in the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and NZ who only order a chart will have it shipped from Nicola in the UK to save on postage. All other chart orders as well as kits with chart, threads and materials will ship from the shop.
Thread choices are DMC, Soie d'alger, Soie 100/3 and Soie Surfine. Fabric choices are Lakeside Linen Vintage Maple Sugar and Legacy Linen in a variety of counts. We are excited to release this amazing bird sampler, which is unlike anything we've seen. The main motif of the birds in the birdbath makes it seem like party time in the garden.
You can order all of the supplies from our online catalog or by contacting the shop. We hope you’ll join us in stitching this amazing sampler.
