Talents Few or Many - Atelier Soed Idee

This bound book is a reproduction of an antique English sampler that I purchased in Franklin during the 2025 Nashville Needlework Market. The original sampler immediately stood out to me for its beautiful balance and lettering, and especially for its timeless verse, which feels just as meaningful today as it did when it was stitched:
God entrusts to all
Talents few or many
None so young and small
That they have not any

The models are stitched on 36 count hand-dyed linen by XJu Design, the sampler on "Morning Coffee", the smalls on "Old Sheep". Zweigart Edinburgh Summer Khaki and Platinum are suggested as readily available alternatives. The stitch count of the main sampler is 211 by 163. Finished size is 11.72 in wide X 9.06 in high
