The Scarlet Alphabet is an original sampler inspired by historic Bristol samplers, especially their elegant alphabets, decorative bands, and beautifully disciplined use of red thread. Worked entirely in a rich scarlet palette, the design brings together several styles of lettering with traditional folk motifs, including flowers, birds, animals, crowns, and a striking central peacock. It is meant to capture the timeless character of early schoolgirl needlework while remaining a new Red House Needleworks design.
