Inspired by a charming antique marking sampler discovered in an antique shop in Eguisheim, France, Make It Your Own Sampler by Jan Hicks Creates! celebrates both the beauty of historic needlework and the creativity of today's stitchers.
Using the original traditional red sampler as inspiration, this design took on a new life when Jan Hicks selected a palette of soft turquoise, creamy white, and coral silk threads. The resulting sampler is elegant, fresh, and wonderfully versatile—proof that a classic design can be transformed simply by choosing colors that speak to you.
Featuring multiple alphabets, numbers, decorative borders, and traditional marking sampler motifs, this design invites every stitcher to make it uniquely their own. Whether you choose the model colors or create an entirely new palette, Make It Your Own Sampler is a timeless project that encourages creativity while honoring the rich tradition of antique samplers.
