HANNAH BONFIELD 1841 by Crows Feet Stitching

The sampler measures 240 stitches wide by 185 stitches high. It is stitched in full cross stitch, except for her name and date, which is stitched in quarter stitch or one over one. I have included an adaptation of her name and date charted for full cross stitch, so this sampler is suitable for aida and linen.  


The sampler is charted using DMC and overdyed threads, using colours from the back of the sampler, as many of the details are lost on the front of the sampler from fading.  The model was stitched on Zweigart 36 count Edinburgh Antique White linen using the overdyed threads
