Ann Brockbank 1812 - Cross Stitch Pattern

by Scarlet Letter

$10.00 $939

Eunice Morton 1794 - Cross Stitch Pattern

by Scarlet Letter

$17.00 $1597

This American sampler was stitched on a loosely woven homespun linen with vegetable-dyed silk threads. Despite its size and simplicity, the design is striking, delicate, and well-balanced.

Ann Bowden 1811 - Cross Stitch Pattern

by Scarlet Letter

$10.00 $939

Ann Whittaker 1790 - Cross Stitch Pattern

by Scarlet Letter

$29.00 Sale $2406

Note from the designer - "ANN WHITTAKER created an almost comically theatrical sampler depicting Adam and Eve, angels, pious verses, and elaborate meandering vines beneath dramatic multi-colored draperies and tassels.

German Sampler by AEDEGNES 1746 - Cross Stitch Pattern

by Scarlet Letter

$20.00 $1879

Note from the designer - "A characteristically northern German sampler, this example from Hamburg consists of random symbolic spot motifs, with a unifying central scene and borders.

Ann Hall 1812 - Christian Cross Stitch Pattern

by Scarlet Letter

$15.00 Sale $1244

Note from the designer - "This wonderful English sampler has to be an original inspired composition by a very clever young girl with a singular artistic vision! Potbellied cherubs fly trumpeting alongside a doughy, asexual Adam and Eve, beneath whom perch an enormous plumed Bird of Paradise on a... Read more

Ann Harding 1821 - Cross Stitch Pattern
