This listing is for the printed chart, shipped to you. It is not a PDF download.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilled from top to bottom with an extraordinary collection of motifs, Mary's sampler is a delight to explore. Pheasants stand among flowering branches, deer and cows share the landscape with birds and baskets of flowers, while swans, a sailing vessel, and wonderfully unusual creatures make their appearance throughout. A bold stylized flower anchors the center, surrounded by the beautifully ordered symmetry so characteristic of nineteenth century needlework. There is so much to see! Despite the abundance of detail, Mary's sampler has a wonderful sense of balance. The muted greens, warm reds, soft blues, and earthy neutrals give the reproduction the aged character of an antique textile while allowing each little motif to stand on its own. It is difficult to look at the intricacy of this sampler and not marvel that Mary completed it when she was only ten years old. This has become one of my favorite samplers in the collection, and I hope you enjoy discovering all of Mary's little stitched details as much as I have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original was stitched wool on canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitch Count: 219 W × 358 H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for: Aida or linen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread list : (GTFT is Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread) DMC 310 Black: 1734 stitches, 0.5 skeins GTFT 900\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 311 Navy Blue, Medium: 536 stitches, 0.2 skeins GTFT 555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 347 Salmon, Very Dark: 4247 stitches, 1.3 skeins GTFT 370\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 501 Blue Green, Dark: 695 stitches, 0.2 skeins GTFT 460\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 522 Fern Green: 3042 stitches, 1.0 skeins GTFT 457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 610 Drab Brown, Dark: 3386 stitches, 1.1 skeins GTFT 715\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 632 Desert Sand, Ultra Very Dark: 972 stitches, 0.3 skeins GTFT 750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 642 Beige Gray, Dark: 1696 stitches, 0.5 skeins GTFT 705\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 738 Tan, Very Light: 2927 stitches, 0.9 skeins GTFT 300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 3032 Mocha Brown, Medium: 2743 stitches, 0.9 skeins GTFT 720\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 3778 Terra Cotta, Light: 2888 stitches, 0.8 skeins GTFT 240 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 3782 Mocha Brown, Light: 2250 stitches, 0.7 skeins GTFT 700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC 3809 Turquoise, Very Dark: 1772 stitches, 0.6 skeins GTFT 520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMC Ecru: 4165 stitches, 1.3 skeins GTFT 100 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThank you and happy stitching! ©The Wishing Thorn.
