Lifetime Samplers & Decorative Textiles cross stitch kits and charts
themes of life in samplers to treasure …. 
The Lifetime Samplers range of cross stitch kits and charts are designed by Lauren Turner. The samplers have verses and sayings ~ some poignant and some humorous. The verses are enduring and translate beautifully into samplers. This collection has themes of family – birth, wedding and anniversary samplers, and a popular family tree for the family history researchers.
The business started in 1994. Lauren has a B.A.Hons in textile design and lives in Nottingham, England. Her book “The Glories of Cross Stitch” was published in 2000 by Cima books.
The business became regenerated in 2015 when Lauren acquired the Decorative Textiles range. These designs for special occasions blended beautifully with the existing range, creating a substantial collection of over 260 designs. The extension of the range created a massive amount of work in updating packs and contents. All packs were converted to clear colour charts for ease of reading. The new range inspired new ideas, and Lauren Turner has continued to expand and modify this range. New products are announced in the news page.
