"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do"
The moment we saw Anne’s delightful sampler, we knew that she was one for Hands Across the Sea Samplers. Whilst acquired by Nicola at an auction in Wales, the sampler was destined for Sandra who has a life-long love of birds and flowers.
The reproduction of Anne’s beautiful needlework has been a team effort. Her sampler has been painstakingly charted by Sandra Moffitt, her booklet produced by Nicola Parkman and the model lovingly stitched by Leona Sweeney.
Nicola has generously offered the PDF version from my store so you can choose the PDF to be emailed (please allow 24 hours or 48 hours if purchased over the weekend) or the Traditional Printed Booklet to be posted.
Thread Legend:
The 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 36ct with 2 strands and Au Ver à Soie 100.3 on 46ct with 1 strand.
Anne executed her beautiful sampler in cross stitch over 2 threads, there is a small number of cross stitches over 1 thread. The sampler is suitable for all levels of ability.
