The beautiful pastel colors on this
English sampler are very well preserved, and our reproduction was graphed
from the front of the original. Only the linen has darkened slightly over
the centuries. The wide, meandering floral border is worked in a combination
of cross and counted satin stitches. The verse is the 23rd Psalm ("The Lord
is my shepherd...") A brilliant blue undulating border that resembles
flowing water surrounds the sampler on all four sides. Stitches used are
cross (over one and two threads of linen), and counted satin.
