Vickie & Maegan tell us "Mary's sampler has been recreated as best as it could, keeping in mind the deteriorated state of the antique, as well as her sometimes erratic stitches. We enjoy the menagerie at the bottom of her sampler, and like to think the plant at right is a large tomato plant - as it differs significantly from the large flowers elsewhere in Mary's sampler. Sadly without a town name, we were unable to locate our Mary with any degree of certainty."
Model was stitched on 40 count Flannel Flowers hand dyed linen from Fox & Rabbit and stitched with AVAS 100/3 silks.
We have also offered the 40 count Vintage Country Mocha Newcastle as an option as it will be more readily available. Chart also includes thread conversions for DMC and Classic Colorworks hand dyed cotton floss.
