This design was excerpted from the top of an early nineteenth-century English sampler. It features an unusual and amusing hunting scene with a solo hunter on horseback pursuing a single hapless stag with a pack of ten spotted hounds on its trail.
The verse reads:
Give me O Lord thy early Grace
Nor let my Soul complain
That the Young Morning of my Days
Has all Been Spent in Vain
The strongly horizontal shape of the sampler lends itself to numerous decorating possibilities in a variety of tight spaces-sort of a reverse band sampler. Only cross stitch is used to complete the sampler. On 40-count linen, the finished piece will measure approximately 23" x 9 1/2". It is recommended for any level of skill. Stitch count is 456 x 178.
Reviews From CustomersWho Purchased This Item
from United States on 11/24/2024 - Gift for my daughter I sent a 123 Stitch email to my daughter, and this sampler grabbed her attention, and it had also grabbed mine. We both loved those determined hunting dogs. I'm so thankful that we share the love of samplers together! So I purchased the chart as a gift for her, and look forward to seeing the finished sampler. Such a cute design, and the shape is one that will fit in a variety of places.
