"It's an honour to design a sampler for such an occasion. To ensure it's unique, stylish and fun, I've weaved sparkly beads and threads through the symbolic motifs and included turkey work."
Cucumber sandwiches and bunting at the ready for the extended bank holiday weekend on 2 June 2022 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II becoming the first British Monarch to ever celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking an historical 70 years on the throne. We can't think of a better way to honour this extraordinary year of Her Majesty's life devoted to service and duty than with Faby Reilly's regal sampler. It even includes all four national emblems representing the nations of the British Isles alongside the official Platinum Jubilee emblem.
Resplendent throughout with glittering beads and metallics, a special occasion also calls for some special stitches - you'll work couching stitch for the swirling line on the emblem and turkey work on the Queen's Guards' fun furry hats. If you've not come across these stitches before, turn to pages 13-14 for step-by-step guides to how they're done - you'll be a pro in no time.
