A Sister Remembered ~ Agnes Wardrop 1826 from Merry Wind Farm

    Melinda tells us "This sampler release is the culmination of nearly a year of research.  The sampler was originally stitched by Agnes herself.  After her death at age 18, one of her sisters turned it into a memorial, adding "died in her 19 yer" and surrounding the sampler with black silk.  This is the first sampler I have ever seen that was stitched and then later turned into a memorial after her death.  I am attaching three photos of the sampler."

    Stitch count is 187 x 223.

    Model was stitched on 32 count Beige linen from Weeks Dye Works and stitched with hand dyed cotton floss from The Gentle Art and DMC cotton.

    Threads required include:
    The Gentle Art ~ Forest Glade x6, Black Licorice x3, Schoolhouse Red x3, Raspberry Parfait x2, & 1 skein of Garden Gatem Uniform Blue, Harvest Basket, Old Brick, Faded Rose
