Discover the gentle charm and symbolic beauty of the Emma Matthews Sampler, worked in 1855, a stunning example of mid-19th-century needlework. Emma's piece is filled with classic motifs that speak to the values and aesthetics of her era, lush floral motifs so indicative of Welsh samplers. Two graceful deer, birds perched among everywhere, and an traditional Adam & Eve scene at the base, all framed by a charming border.
The stitch count is 261 wide by 340 high, it requires a fat 1/2 when stitching on 18 or 36 count fabric.
There wasn’t a good way to convert the verse to over two, so I included a cartouche option for those who want to stitch on Aida. I also provided an upper- and lowercase alphabet with numbers, so you can personalize the sampler with your name and the year.
The chart is charted in DMC colors.
