Worked on 30-count vanilla linen, this lovely, “peaceable” sampler will provide hours of pleasurable stitching.  The top section features a lady in her garden complete with dogs, lilacs and bee skeps.  The center has a colonial home reminiscent of the houses in Williamsburg, VA, “alphabet trees”, a family, pets and plenty of birds.  The center bottom area has an over-1 village scene surrounded by the wild woods and various woodland creatures.  The piece is outlined by a flowing strawberry border.

Stitches used include long arm cross, Smyrna cross, stem, diagonal satin, padded satin, petit point, colonial knot, straight, spiral trellis and several others.

A myriad of colorful silk and cotton threads are used to create this scene.  All threads are included in your kit.

Finished size is 17 ½” x 19 ½”.
