Ann Roberts 1842 ~ Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Hands Across the Sea Samplers

Ann’s delightful sampler has been reproduced with Au Ver à Soie d’Alger silks and the skein quantities calculated based on 1 strand on 36ct fabric. We have provided conversions for DMC based on 2 strands on 36ct linen. The model was stitched on Weeks Zweigart 46ct linen in “straw” with a palette of 15 colours taken from the reverse of the original sampler.
