From Merry Wind Farm, Eliza's
sampler has been painstakingly reproduced
using the original vibrant colors visible on
the reverse of the sampler. Surrounded by an
undulating border dotted with random tiny
strawberries, the eye is drawn to her rendering
of a fairy tale castle. Completing the sampler
are Adam and Eve with a very fat snake, a large
rose bush, colorful bird, and a abundance of
flowers, birds, and trees. The lovely verse
was penned by John Fawcett, an 18th century
Yorkshire minister.
The stitch count is a manageable 227 (w) x 303
(h) and is charted for 19 colors of DMC floss
on 32 count Putty linen from Weeks Dye Works.
The sampler is completed almost exclusively
with cross stitch over two theads, with the
corner thistle motifs executed in cross, back,
satin, and a small amount of stem stitch.
Close up photos of the thistles with complete
instructions are included.
