I have been asked many times about the sampler above. It is a Dutch Spot Sampler. The pattern was in an Australian Better Homes and Gardens Magazine a long time ago. Probably about 15 years ago. I'm sorry I really don't know where you could a copy of this sampler.It is a beautiful sampler and always reminds me of my Dutch Beauty Sampler as they have similar motifs on them. This one also has an A&E on it.
They are both worked on 32ct cream linen over one. They hang in next to each other in my hallway.

They are both so beautiful. I love the muted colors and all of those motifs.
They are absolutely stunning. I love the Dutch spot sampler. I have one something like that buried in my stas. It makes me want to dig it out. Oh no, stop - I have too many UFO"s now!

Both are gorgeous!! I have Dutch Beauty all ready to go... maybe once I finish Jane Atkinson. ;)
BEAUTIFUL!!
Both are beautiful samplers! I can imagine they look stunning on the wall together. I think some of the older magazines have the most beautiful patterns!
Just beautiful. I have always wanted to stitch Dutch Beauty also. Just lovely.
Both are beautiful, Sandra! Love them! (So where's the A&E? lol! I'm being dense.)
oh absolument merveilleux !!!
bravo à vous !

Both of your samplers are gorgeous. I admire you for stitching such large samplers over one.
Completely gorgeous!!!! Love them both and what a lot of stitching.
Stunning! Both pieces are beautiful and what great companions to each other.
Both are stunners!
G'day mate! I didn't know that you had stitched DB. These are both nice samplers and I can see why you would hang them together. I'm so used to seeing your Rhode Island style samplers and other ones from SL that these surprised me. I hope you keep these for yourself :)
Waouw! Superbe, j'aime beaucoup les tons de ce sampler!
They are gorgeous, somehow the first sampler is familiar but cannot place it, must have seen it in a Dutch museum somewhere?
Oh Dutch beauty is fabulous, I have the chart but my sister beat me to it and made it in 4 months so I gave up, would take me years to complete. Well done:))
These are both gorgeous! I'm a sucker for Dutch samplers, being married to a Dutchman....LOl
Honestly, I love, love them.
Just found your blog and so nice!
