“Mary Elizabeth Leet, 1865” remains one of the most beloved pieces in my collection, a graceful American sampler that beautifully captures the care and ambition of its young maker. There was a photograph of a large mansion tucked away in the back of the sampler. I never figured out where it was and why keeping it was so important.
Reproduced faithfully from the original work stitched in 1865, this design features balanced symmetry, elegant lettering, and that wonderful Victorian charm. Every detail has been charted for today’s stitcher while preserving the authenticity of the original.
Design Size: 227 W × 323 H stitches
Suggested Fabric: 32 count linen (or 16 ct Aida)
Model: Stitched in Flower threads on Affogato by Fiber on a Whim
The sampler works beautifully on both linen and Aida. It is entirely in cross stitch with no specialty stitches, making it accessible to both experienced and newer stitchers. The soft, traditional palette is so charming.
Your purchase includes a full color and black & white chart, ready for instant download.
A timeless design to revisit again and again — quiet, elegant, and full of history.
Thank you and happy stitching!
