Eliza Martha Linfoot - Reproduction Sampler

The design is worked mostly in cross stitch with the basket section worked in satin stitch.  There will be a cross stitch version of the basket provided in the chart for those working on Aida and/or those that prefer not to do the satin stitch.  This is listed on HATS website.

For our year long SAL of Eliza Martha Linfoot 1834, Cathe has designed accessories using motifs from the sampler. The color of acrylic is Copper Pearl, which coordinates with the fabric.  

• 4" ruler 
• needle-minder 
• 3" corner gauge 
• 30 holes thread-keep 
• Full set 

You can write on acrylic with a fine tip Sharpie. To remove the writing use a tiny amount of alcohol on a cotton swab. Do not use too much alcohol as it can cause acrylic to get fine lines in it (called crazing).
