Designer: Scarlet Letter
Item: SCTL-103
Type: Cross Stitch Patterns

Note from the designer: "This sampler was probably made in Rhode Island, a poor sister, perhaps, to the magnificent creations coming out of the girls' schools in Newport, Providence and Bristol at this same period, but bearing some similar "signatures". The squat, long-tailed bird at the top appears on many of the more famous Rhode Island examples, as well as more elaborate versions of the vining floral border, springing from a lower central cartouche (or vase) upon which is inscribed the maker's name, age, or other relevant information.

Originally stitched on a coarse homespun linen with silk flosses, the reproduction, worked on 25 count unbleached linen, will very closely approximate the size of the original sampler, at 7 1/2" x 11 1/2". It is worked entirely in cross stitch over one and two threads of linen. Rated: Beginners.
