“Originally stitched on a fine wool ground, the glorious
colours have been matched to the somewhat faded, soft tones visible
on the front. The wide pattern bands reflect popular designs of
the previous century, while the more rectangular shape of the
sampler is an eighteenth century characteristic“.

detached buttonhole, closed herringbone, double diagonal back
stitch, eyelet, Parisian, Florentine, bullion knots and tent.
