Jane Austen Inspired Samplers

Posted on

Lately I have been spending my evenings watching episodes of Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice on Netflix. Today I was curious whether there were any cross stitch samplers devoted to these two books, and I found a website for The Stitching Parlor Inc, which designs antique-looking samplers. There are quite a few that are based on Jane Austen novels: Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion. I know I wouldn’t have time to complete even one of these immense samplers right now, but as one of my suppliers distributes charts from The Stitching Parlor, I think they may be next on my list to order for the shop.

So maybe you can’t dine at Rosings twice a week like Charlotte Lucas and Mr. Collins, but you can stitch it to hang on your wall. The Stitching Parlor doesn’t seem to have any Bronte-inspired samplers, but I will keep looking!

  1. Hi. I have left this same request at several people’s sites. But I can see from your site that you have a lovely sense of color and design, so I am hoping this will interest you. I am searching for either a complete photo or , hopefully, a pattern for the gorgeous needlepoint chair the sits next to the fireplace in the Bennetts’ home in the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice. I would so love to be able to make this chair seat and back for a lovely old English chair I have. Please write to me if you have an idea on this. Thanks.
