Transcription of an old sampler from the collection of Gigi R (2015).

This lovely sampler probably has German origin. An inscription in the center of the sampler says
“September 4, 1889, W & E”. And there is a courting couple from Siebmacher’s Model book straight under
the inscription, which leads us to think that it has been made to mark an engagement or a wedding.

The original was stitched on perforated paper with silks. Stitches used were half cross, full cross and a
little bit of backstitch.

Stitched on 40 count fabric - 'Cocoa' by Weeks Dye Works with full crosses over 2 threads of linen, with
exception of a few backstitches..

The sampler is stitched using stranded cottons by The Gentle Art Sampler threads and Classic Colorworks. You can choose to stitch the sampler in the 'faded' front side colours or the more vibrant ' back' side colours.
