Fiona Rutherford Miniature Sampler Pattern 1866

A delightful miniature sampler to add to your collection, most likely American in origin based on styling. Fiona Managed to fit 2 complete alphabets into this tiny sampler not to mention the house scenery is stunning.

This pattern is designed to be stitched over one thread on 32ct linen. This will make the finished piece a very tiny miniature sampler. The tiny size gives it its appeal and charm. It could be stitched as a larger piece but the effect would be lost. Aida cloth is not advised.
