In adapting this sampler to be stitched over one and two threads of linen - instead of 1, 2, 3, and 4 as stitched by Mary - we endeavored to remain true to her composition while creating a more "stitchable" sampler. While the antique is framed, we decided to hemstitch our sampler. We are fortunate that Mary included her age, middle initial and the date she stitched her sampler.
nspired by an 1874 antique, this adaptation sampler has been beautifully reproduced in collaboration with Cherry Hill Stitchery. Bright florals, elegant birds, and a radiant central motif create a cheerful and timeless heirloom piece.

We are so excited to recreate a well-used and tattered watch pocket that no doubt held a lady's watch from bygone days.
