Elizabeth Hughes 1851 Sampler Pattern

Elizabeth Hughes stitched this lovely Welsh Sampler when she was 14. She was born in 1838 in Flintshire, Wales and at some point was staying in Oxfordshire England, which is where I found the sampler. It is only 3-4 hours from her home. The original antique sampler measures 17.5 by 16 inches and was stitched in wool on uneven weave canvas and was framed in a stunning hand carved oak leaf frame.

217 wide by 217 high
14/28 count - design size is 15.50 x 15.50 cut fabric 22 by 22 inches
16/32 count - design size is 13.50 x 13.50 cut fabric 20 by 20 inches
18/36 count - design size is 12.00 x 12.00 cut fabric 18 by 18 inches

The Model uses Ginnie Thompson Flower Threads and 36 count Tin Roof by Weeks Dye Works. The pattern is  also charted DMC Threads for those that rather not use GTFT. A limited amount of thread packs are available in the kits section of the store.

The chart consists of a color image of the finished design, instructions, and a list of floss colors; A color & black and white symbol chart are spread over several A4 sheets for printing. Including a single page for reference.

Thank you and happy stitching! ©The Wishing Thorn. All Rights Reserved
