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.
