CREATIVE COLLABORATION 2023 - 2025 WITH
Evertote by Off the Grid Needle Arts
and
Roxy Floss Co.
A creative collaboration based upon a ragamuffin sampler held in the collection of
1897 School Samplers
This pattern is being released as part of a creative collaboration with Evertote by Off The Grid Needle Arts and Roxy Floss Co. as the second in a series.
Should you choose to follow the suggested assembly into a traditional nine-patch, five of the patches can / will contain the five stitched patterns available in this series. The model for each of the five patterns has been stitched by Lianne van Leyen of 1897 Schoolhouse Samplers on a wide eighth (13.5” W x 18” H), with the design stitched in the middle of the fabric to allow the room to stitch the optional borders / motifs before assembly into a nine-patch. Please note that each of the five designs in this series have different stitch counts, so please plan the placement of your stitching to allow room for stitching any additional motifs and borders, if desired, and to allow final assembly into a nine-patch.
Caroline of Evertote by Off The Grid Needle Arts has provided the vision and instructions for the construction of a nine-patch using this series of five patterns, for more details please head over to www.Evertote.ca.
