Mary Ann, at only eight years of age, finished her sampler in the year 1826. An amazing achievement for one so young!

Mary Ann’s beautiful sampler has been reproduced using 40ct Lakeside Linen in Vintage Sand Dune and a palette of 26 glorious colours from Au Ver à Soie’s d’Alger range.

The sampler has been mainly executed in cross stitch over two linen threads with a small amount of cross stitch over one linen thread for the verse and dedication. There is a small amount of satin stitch.

Mary Ann’s sampler has been rated as suitable for confident beginners through to advanced needleworkers.
