I was often loath to start a baby sampler until I knew the gender of the baby, and this meant that I often gave this meaningful present long after the baby was born. In this sampler, you are invited to finish all the whitework months or even years before it is needed. The sparkling champagne beads and soft gold metallics are subtle and delicate, blending with almost any other colour. Your choice of silk ribbon and floss will complete your heirloom. -Thea
