Pheasants stand among flowering branches, deer and cows share the landscape with birds and baskets of flowers, while swans, a sailing vessel, and wonderfully unusual creatures make their appearance throughout. A bold stylized flower anchors the center, surrounded by the beautifully ordered symmetry so characteristic of nineteenth century needlework. There is so much to see!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the abundance of detail, Mary's sampler has a wonderful sense of balance. The muted greens, warm reds, soft blues, and earthy neutrals give the reproduction the aged character of an antique textile while allowing each little motif to stand on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is difficult to look at the intricacy of this sampler and not marvel that Mary completed it when she was only ten years old. This has become one of my favorite samplers in the collection, and I hope you enjoy discovering all of Mary's little stitched details as much as I have.\u003cbr\u003eThe original was stitched wool on canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitch Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 219 W × 358 H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aida or linen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread list :\u003cbr\u003e(GTFT is Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 310 Black\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1734 stitches, 0.5 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 900\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 311 Navy Blue, Medium\u003c\/strong\u003e: 536 stitches, 0.2 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 555\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 347 Salmon, Very Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4247 stitches, 1.3 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 370\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 501 Blue Green, Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e: 695 stitches, 0.2 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 460\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 522 Fern Green\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3042 stitches, 1.0 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 457\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 610 Drab Brown, Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3386 stitches, 1.1 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 715\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 632 Desert Sand, Ultra Very Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e: 972 stitches, 0.3 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 750\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 642 Beige Gray, Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1696 stitches, 0.5 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 705\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 738 Tan, Very Light\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2927 stitches, 0.9 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 300\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 3032 Mocha Brown, Medium\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2743 stitches, 0.9 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 720\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 3778 Terra Cotta, Light\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2888 stitches, 0.8 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 240\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 3782 Mocha Brown, Light\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2250 stitches, 0.7 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 700\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC 3809 Turquoise, Very Dark\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1772 stitches, 0.6 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 520\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMC Ecru\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4165 stitches, 1.3 skeins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGTFT 100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThank you and happy stitching!\u003cbr\u003e©The Wishing Thorn.
