Title

The Queen of the May is a tradition that celebrates beauty, renewal, and honour. Each year, we select a sampler that embodies these qualities — a design that rises above the rest, chosen not only for its visual appeal, but for its enduring presence.

For 2026, we are delighted to present Ann Watson 1839, a truly exceptional Cumbrian sampler worked by an eleven-year-old girl.. We chose Ann’s work for its balance and compositional confidence, its rich symbolic language, and its clear connection to place. It is a sampler that speaks with quiet authority — one that rewards close looking and thoughtful stitching.

Please let me know if you'd like assistance to kit up this beautiful sampler. 

Thread Legend 

Ann’s magnificent sampler has been reproduced using a particularly beautiful palette of 22 colours. The model was stitched using Soie d’Alger from Au Ver à Soie, and we have included below conversions for Soie 100.3 and DMC.
