"Catharine Van Boskirk embroidered this sampler ca. 1825. The adorable beehives and snowdrops are what drew me to this sampler instantly. My Birthday is in March and these are two of my favorite things. It was stitched with silk thread on linen fabric.

It is a one-of-a-kind antique piece and it is beautiful as it is. Since this will be a new addition, I adjusted some of the stitches to fit current designs. We can leave all the quirkiness in honor of sweet Catharine who made it unique."

The measurements given in the pattern are for 14/28 ct fabric. It also lends itself for Aida cloth as it uses only cross stitch and a few back stitches. Charted for DMC floss.
