At Hands Across the Sea Samplers we can never resist a small red sampler, and what a pretty one this one is. Our eyes were particularly drawn both to the bottom section with its unusual stitch formation and Edna’s middle name. The Russian name Verenia is an uncommon name in England and means faithful, loyal, and true.

Thread Legend

Edna’s sampler has been reproduced using Soie 100.3 from Au Ver à Soie. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC. 

Soie 100.3 46 to 56ct ~ 109 x

Soie d’Alger 36 to 46ct ~ 2936 x 1 and 28 to 32ct ~ 2936 x 3

Linen Sizes

The model was stitched using Zweigart-based linen that was overdyed to the shade Bowtruckle by Tabbycat Linen. The sampler is suitable for stitching on Aida, Linaida, and linen and is worked entirely in cross stitch over 2 threads of linen. The design area is 159 stitches (w) x 112 stitches (h).
