A treasure trove for lovers of slow craft, this vintage set of hand-stitched sampler swatches showcases a range of embroidery techniques - from tent work and bullion stitch to double back stitch and cross stitch - all carefully labelled and beautifully worked on soft, timeworn linen.

Likely dating from the 1940s to 1960s, these pieces were probably created as part of a mid-century needlework course or domestic arts training. The stitches vary in style, texture, and confidence, giving the collection an irresistible charm that celebrates imperfection, patience, and practice. They bear the gentle marks of age, including the occasional tiny rust speck, especially where they were possibly attached to a card or in a booklet.

Perfect for display, study, or inspiration in your own textile journey. These samplers also make beautiful additions to slow stitch journals or creative reuse in art projects.
