Eliza's original delightful sampler was 9 x 3 inches stitched on uneven weave linen. She came up with some fancy design choices with just a couple of different types of stitches. Eliza used backstitches in the most unusual way. She also used the cross stitches to create a "pattern" by alternately changing the direction of her top cross in the light-colored border. I included close-up pictures for you. It is a one-of-a-kind antique piece and it is beautiful as it is. Since this will be a new addition, I adjusted some of the stitches to fit current designs. We can leave all the quirkiness in honor of sweet Eliza who made it unique.
