Martha Martin 1831 - Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Whilst Iris Naps

Martha Martin 1831 was originally an exclusive for the Sampler Guild of the Rockies, now available for wider release. 

The pattern is 266 x 266 and contains some over 1 in her name, date and the year which would make it unsuitable for stitching on Aida without adaptation.  There are also some satin stitches and a few half stitches but the sampler is predominantly cross stitch over 2.

Our model is stitched using 1 strand floss for the over 2 crosses using Weeks Dye Works threads (a DMC conversion is included) and is stitched on 36ct 'Antique Lace' by Seraphim Fabrics.  The design area on 36ct fabric is approximately 14 3/4 x 14 3/4 inches (37.5 x 37.5 cm).
