Summer House Stitche Workes - Fragments in Time 2022 Susquehanna Valley Samplers

his year's series was inspired by antique Susquehanna Valley Samplers. As I studied the originals with their compartmentalized borders, I knew they would make a perfect Fragments series. This body of antique samplers was created from the late 1700's through the 1840's, being produced from several schools located along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. I hope you enjoy my updated version of this piece of sampler history.

As always there is a complimentary border pattern!! All eight Fragments will fit into the border pattern, to give these versatile charts another finishing option. Perfect idea for a shop stitch-along! The pdf. pattern is available on the Summer House Stitche Workes webpage.
