Note from the designer - "At age nine in 1818, Sarah Dutnel created this unusual "tree of life" sampler. A traditional carnation and tulip border in subtle, earthy shades of gold, brown, and cream surrounds the tree. Dogs, deer, birds, stars, potted plants, trees and flowers flank the base of the tree. The sampler is unusual in its absence of alphabets. Stitches used are cross and counted satin."
Pattern is stitched on 35 ct linen using Soie D'Alger threads. Stitch count: 278w x 322h. On 35 count linen, the sampler finished size will measure approximately 16″ x 18-1.2″.
Chart only.
