A short illustrated article from the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin presenting the twelve leaves of a small sampler book, shown in their original order. The book is thought to have come from Portugal and to have been made there or in Spain in the seventeenth century. The introduction describes the stitches, colors and materials, and each plate carries a caption listing the stitches shown, including cross stitch, stroke stitch, reticello, drawn work, matting stitch and bullion stitch.
