Glee's Sampler is a beautiful piece from the collection of renowned needlework collector Glee Kreuger. Upon Glee's passing her daughter sought new homes for some of the samplers from Glee's collection and I am honored to be the guardian of this beautiful and primitive piece likely dating back to the early 1800's. Glee is the author of A Gallery of American Samplers which is a lovely addition to any sampler-lovers library.
 
This reproduction has been charted exactly as it is found now- missed stitched, imperfections and all. You will use straight stitches, Algerian eyelets and cross stitches to complete.  Although the reproduction has not been model stitched, all of the following suggestions are made to achieve a look as close to the original as possible.

Stitch Count: 
140 wide x 156 high
Recommended Fabric Options:
Mocha linen by Weeks Dye Works is a nearly identical color match to the original sampler which was stitched on a 24 count linen.
Thread: 
The DMC thread list below is a close match to all of the original thread colors with the exception of the blue shade which is highly variegated/aged. I suggest using one of the following overdyed threads: Weeks Dye Works “Cadet”, or Classic Colorworks “Shamrock”. Alternatively, a mix of DMC 503 and 502 would be a suitable match. Please reference the color chart within the chart pack to see what color thread should be used to work the fancy stitches.
