Scotland Sampler Details
Initially designed as a Scottish Millennium Sampler, the kit has been updated to include some alternative phrases to replace the "2000" in the Centre Panel, including "History of a Nation", "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" (Scotland's national motto), "Wha Daurs Meddle wi Me" (a rough translation into Scots of the said motto), and "My Country". Charts for all of these, as well as the original "2000", are included in every kit.

The kit is supplied as standard with Zweigart 27 count Linda evenweave 100% cotton in antique white, and when finished it has a stitch count of 163 x 259 and measures 12.1 x 19.2 inches (307 x 487 mm).  We don't really consider this kit to be suitable for stitching on Aida but we know that some people insist on Aida and only Aida, and so on special request we will supply 14 count antique white Aida (but be warned, it will be a lot more difficult to stitch!)  For stitchers who aren't used to evenweave, we've included a small piece of the material to practise on using the supplied gold-plated needle.

Iona Prayer

"Holy Spirit of God, brooding over Iona's wild restless waters, laughing with the wind's fury or gentle touch,
rising with the sun and settling amidst the stars -
Be present here among us".

The Wild Goose illustrated in the kit is a Celtic symbol of the Holy Spirit, and serves as the logo of The Iona Community. It is a copyright design and is used in this kit by kind permission of The Iona Community.  

The kit measures 6 x 8¼ inches (150 x 210 mm) when stitched and is supplied with 27-count Zweigart Linda evenweave material.
