This sampler, which I have named the Sewing Box Sampler 1 because it and another were found in a sewing box, is of unknown date and origin. As you can see, there is no name or date on this sampler, and as you can see from the original, it was unfinished. Perhaps the stitcher meant to stitch her name at the bottom, and never finished it. There are some clues as to the origin, however. I believe it is Spanish in origin because of the presence of Spanish letters in a couple of the alphabets - the double LLs and the N with a tilde. There are other clues that lead me to believe this is of Spanish origin. Spanish samplers were often square and had striking geometric borders. Some also used rather muted colors of cream, blues, greens and yellows. While this isn't a pure reproduction sampler, since I filled in the unfinished areas, I did strive to say true to the original with my adaptations. I hope you fall in love with this sampler as I have and enjoy creating it for yourself.
Model stitched on 46 ct Winter White linen using DMC floss. Stitch count is 240w x 263h
