Templar Prophecy

New from Long Dog Samplers: Templar Prophecy. Stitch count 327 x 341. From Julia: If you know where to look, antique samplers are full of small acts of legerdemain, some political, some treasonous and other amorous and maybe even just a touch risqué. To misquote the Freemasons, the Templar Prophecy most certainly isn’t a secret sampler, but it is definitely a sampler with secrets. The clues are all there—just read the chart! Retail $27.30. Contact Dinky-Dyes.

This complete kit contains everything necessary to make a small cushion, including all threads, pattern, instructions, linen and the backing fabric. Finished dimensions of the cushion: 31 x 22cm (12.25″ x 8.75″). Retail $60.00. Contact Très Chic Stitchery.
