Item: SCTL-052
Type: Cross Stitch Patterns

Note from the designer - "This is a very graceful and finely stitched sampler, an unusual combination for the late date. Nine ethereal female figures, like penitents in an Edward Gorey cartoon, march solemnly about the sampler, paying homage to the house. The huge house appears to be welcoming them in with its open windows sporting pots of blooming flowers. An unusually lovely aura of shimmering counted satin stitch surrounds the house like an aurora borealis. The design is quite unique and very feminine."

On 35 count, the finished size is 19 1/2 x 17 1/4, or on 40 count it is 17 x 15. The original sampler measures 13 1/4 x 12. It is recommended for intermediate-level needleworkers. On 35 count, use two strands of cotton floss except for areas cross-stitched over one thread. If using silk floss, use one strand for the entire sampler, on 35 or 40 count. For 40 count, use only one strand of cotton floss for the entire sampler.

Note: The stitch count is not included in the pattern.
