Note from the designer - This needlework was designed after an English sampler in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts-Boston. The lush border flowers are similar to those on a sampler made by Sarah Brignell from around the same period, suggesting the existence of a school or teacher whose "specialty" was opulent floral borders. The border includes elaborately stitched tulips, roses, carnations, daisies and lilies." The verse is as follows:
What though my sins are of a Crimson stain
My saviours blood can wash me white again
Though numerous the twinkling stars they be
or sands along the margin of the sea Or as
smooth pebbles on some beachy shore
The mercies of the Almighty still are more
On 40 count linen, the sampler will measure approximately 14-1/2" x 23". Stitches used are cross, back, and counted satin. Recommended for intermediate level stitchers. Stitch count is 290 x 460.
Chart only.
