Sarah Ann Marven stitched her sampler in 1838 in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England. The verse is a lovely tribute to her departed mother, Elizabeth.
The model has been stitched on 36 count Wren linen from Picture This Plus using Gentle Arts Threads. A DMC conversion is provided.
The stitch count is 300 x 362 and uses cross stitch over two and one threads, with the dates in back stitch and (4) 3/4 cross stitch. |
