SamplersForever

My name is Claudia and I live in Italy, close to Milano, the wonderful fashion city. I am an Architect, proud mom of two wonderful children, with a passion for cross stitch that comes from my unforgettable precious mother Adriana. After years of stitching gorgeous pieces of many designers, I've discovered my love for antique samplers: I've started a collection that now counts many gorgeous beauties from the past, lovely stitched by little girls, that have histories to tell and that have to be remembered and loved again. That's why I have decided to reproduce them and let them know to other stitchers. But I started my passion for antiques in another way.... and many stitchers know me for that! My continuous research of new handmade techniques has been very helpful to create something I consider a "treat" for cross stitch lovers: I create pendants and fobs enclosing in glass pictures, laces, embroideries of any kind with a techique called "tiffany", soldering them with silver and then make them precious with dangles like crystals, real freshwater pearls, semiprecious stones and so on. My goal is to create a unique jewel for every stitcher!
I hope you'll enjoy my collections!
