Designer: Scarlet Letter
Item: SCTL-045
Type: Cross Stitch Patterns
Amelia Boyce's pictorial sampler demonstrates two popular art forms of the early 19th century manifested in the sampler mode: the image of an architectural engraving, and the influence of Berlin patterns in the naturalistic (rather than nave or stylized) floral patterns. A widely mixed floral meandering border surrounds a brief verse and scenic panel over a large cathedral, flanked by mammoth trees, one with an oversize parrot perched in the branches. The verse from Proverbs 3, verse 17, is especially lovely:
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace
Stitches used are cross over one and two threads of linen, and back stitch. The original sampler is ion the collection of the Valentine Museum in Richmond, Virginia.
Stitch count: 296 x 341. Stitched on 35 count linen, the finished size will measure approximately 17" x 19-1/4". Recommended cut piece is 21" x 24".
