"Autumn Basket Sampler" is a nod to the sampler tradition. Alphabet samplers were often used to practice stitches and letters, so pairing it with a seasonal basket felt like a fitting update. The faded alphabet stitched into the background represents the way old samplers fade with time. This mix of an alphabet sampler and an autumn floral basket ties two classic cross stitch traditions into one piece in an updated style.
