A Most Noble Pursuit

	A Most Noble Pursuit

Ten of your favorite design companies have joined to create a limited-edition collaboration sampler, A Most Noble Pursuit. It will be released at the Nashville Needlework Market in February, 2006!!

The designers are Ann and Liz of Brightneedle, Kathy of Carriage House Samplings, Tracy of Hands to Work, Lori of La D Da, Tricia of Patricia Ann Designs, Susan and Pam of Praiseworthy Stitches, Cathy of Primitive Traditions, Vicki of A Stitch and A Prayer, Ellen of With My Needle, and Candy and Mary of The Workbasket.

Sampler Details -- Each of the ten design companies created a block. The blocks can be stitched on one piece of linen to make a very large sampler, or the blocks can be stitched individually. All ten charts will be packaged together in a booklet with a photograph of the stitched piece on the product cover. This is a big sampler -- 408 stitches wide by 242 stitches high.

Linen -- The model uses 36-count, Light Examplar hand-dyed linen from Lakeside Linens. They will be offering shops a custom-sized cut in both standard and vintage versions of the linen. The cut size before dyeing will be approximately 27 x 20 inches. This does NOT allow for the usual 6-inch margin on the width, it will be closer to 4 inches which is ample if you are not planning on matting your sampler. If you prefer a larger margin, we suggest you purchase a half-yard cut which is approximately 27 x 36 inches, and work this project with the selvedge at the top or bottom edge. Stitchers, please contact your local shop for purchasing information.

Threads -- Our model is stitched using Needlepoint Inc. silk threads which they will make available to shops as thread packs. Shops can contact Mark at Needlepoint Inc. to place orders. DMC substitutions are provided on the chart.

Framing -- Cathy Campbell of Primitive Traditions framed the model in one of her beautiful hand-grained frames. Ask Cathy about making one of her frames for your sampler.

Chart Sales -- The chart will retail for $40 and will be available to shops at the Needlework Market in Nashville, Tennessee in February 2006. Shops attending the market may place a preorder with any of the 10 designers. All market preorders must be paid for and picked up by 4 pm on Saturday, February 11, 2006.
