The fifth pattern chart in our vintage sampler series. In the 19th century, such samplers were a method of educating young girls in reading, writing and mathematics.
Size of motif: 178 x 276 stitches. When embroidered on 12 count linen over two threads, this will give you a finished stitched size of 29.7 x 46cm.
To obtain the vintage aspect of this project, we recommend using natural, off-white or Sajou blue embroidery linen.
You can use Retors du Nord 2030 (red) or 2882 (sapphire). Or for an alternative, try it with our Calais cocoons in fire (6932) or cornflower (6934), variegated threads which give a surprisingly lovely result.
Attention: if you use our variegated threads, be sure to sew whole crosses and to take up the embroidery at the same place when you change threads. If you interrupt the shading, the result will be less spectacular.
