Harriot stitched her sampler in wool on linen close to 32ct. The colours have been taken from the back of the sampler. It is stitched mainly in cross stitch over 2, with a small amount of cross stitch over 1 for the verse and letters and some detail in Algerian Eyelet stitch.
She is rated as suitable for an ambitious beginner. Harriot stitched a beautiful, quirky sampler on linen and, as befits the daughter of a wool merchant, with wool. She used a palette of twenty colours which have stood the test of time. Slightly faded on the front, the colours for the reproduction have been taken from those at the back.
Stitch count is 237 W x 286 H.
