This unusual "scattered flowers darning sampler" is one of 299 samplers held by the
St. Gallen Textile Museum.
It has no name, no date and no place and it could not be dated clearly or geographically allocated by experts - because there was no similar piece!
It contains various beautiful geometric patterns running in one direction only. The seven floral patterns in the central row are specific for this darning or weaving sampler.
The model was stitched by
Bhooma Aravamudan on 32 ct linen with silk thread.
