A Natural Beauty: Elizabeth Hannell 1840 - Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Shakespeare's Peddler

I bought the original sampler (reproduced, above) two years ago at market from Dawn Lewis of The Needle’s Work Antiques. I fell in love immediately with the organic nature of the sampler. My reproductions come with a page inside where I talk about the sampler, things I noticed, elements that are particularly interesting. It’s a little bonus for stitchers, who often love to read about these old girls. The chart is in full color. Specialty stitches include a little backstitching and over-one (the verse and attribution).

• Stitch count: 274 by 308
• Fabric: 40 count Latte by Fiber on a Whim
• Threads: Classic Colorworks Balsam Fir (2), Pine Needles, Caramel Corn, Espresso Bean, Chamomile, Dark Chocolate, Mountain Mist, Old Hickory, and Portabella. As always, a DMC conversion is provided.
