This pattern is a faithful replica of an antique sampler stitched in 1888 by Marie Agenon. I do not know much about Marie apart that she stitched a very similar sampler a decade later.
The sampler is charted exactly like the original with the small flaws and misalignment included.
Design Area: 154 x 140 stitches
If stitched on 28 ct linen/ 14 ct aida the pattern will measure:
11" x 10" / 28 x 25,5 cm
Contains:
- Chart in two different format. Black and white, and color with symbol.
- Photos of the original sampler
- Large chart for easy printing
Materials you need at home:
- Embroidery floss
- Linen, aida or the embroidery fabric of your choice.
- Embroidery needles, and sharp scissors
