Gold: Gifts of the Magi #2

From The Victoria Sampler leaflet 11, Gold: Gifts Of The Magi #2 designed by Thea Dueck. This sampler is shaped like a treasure chest to give the impression of the type of container such a fine gift would have be carried in. Opulent gold stitching, couching and beadwork shimmer with beautiful lights. Cross stitch and specialty stitches are used to make this piece. Diagrams are included for specialty stitches. Finished size when stitched on 28 count fabris is 5.75" X 7.25".
