Flosstube #6 Stories Behind the Needlework - Nuremberg Samplers 2

Before I take off for Nuremberg, Germany I want to show you this sampler from that city made with wonderful shaded filament silks. It is similar to the paintings of the famous Maria Sybilla Meriam but might be the teaching of another well known Nuremberg designer of needlework patterns. Let's look at all the personalities known to be working in the city during this time period and review the pattern books looking for clues.
