“Because of You I bloom” is a sampler designed by Nicola as a gift for her husband. Inspiration, particularly the border and its anomalies, have been taken from a 19th-century sampler in her collection.
The sampler has been stitched with a palette of six colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC.
