Rosa executed the sampler primarily in cross stitch worked over two threads, demonstrating remarkable skill and control for such a young stitcher. In contrast, she introduced texture and definition by stitching a distinctive sawtooth border in satin stitch around the verse. She further highlighted her name, age, and the year by surrounding them with a second sawtooth border, also worked in satin stitch.

Adding charm and individuality, two small black dogs are stitched in cross stitch over one thread, creating delicate detail and visual interest.

For needleworkers using Aida, an adapted chart is included, allowing the entire sampler to be worked in cross stitch over two threads while preserving the original design.

Thread Legend:

Rosa’s beautiful sampler has been reproduced using a palette of 13 colours carefully matched to the colours found on the front of the sampler. The model was stitched using Soie 100.3 from Au Ver à Soie, and we have included below conversions for Soie d’Alger (SDA) and DMC.
