About the Sampler from the Designer
This is a pleasantly quirky, colorful sampler likely stitched in the north of England judging by some of the Scottish influences in the design. A four sided strawberry border surrounds an alphabet and a pious verse above a geometric pattern band. Below this is a scenic register with trees, birds, baskets of flowers, and deer with mauve colored spots. The verses are:
Make much of precious Time WHile in Your Power Careful well to Husband Evry Hour for Time Will Come When You shall Sore Lament the unhappy Minutes That you have Misspent
Let Little be the Name of Truth this is the Practice Of my Youth With Care and Cost I have this Rought And Finished With a virgins Thought
In the lower third there is a pattern band that resembles bargello, but it is in fact cross stitched. Research reveals that this sampler might have been made by one Elizabeth Cheetham, born in 1813 to James and Martha Cheetham, in Halifax, Yorkshire, England. She married Sampson Craven in 1833 at the age of nineteen. His occupation is noted as “Wool Sorter.” They had eight children. She passed at the age of 65 in 1879. Stitches used to execute the sampler are cross and counted satin. On 40 count linen the finished reproduction will measure approximately 16-1/2″ x 18-1/2″.

Sparkly metallic thread in a wide variety of colors from Au Ver a Soie ®
Unlike other metallic threads, when these threads pass through the fabric, the metallic fibers don’t break, preventing the thread from knotting or bunching, even with repeated stitching. For example, in needlepoint composite stitching where you are passing through the same hole of the canvas.
The thread doesn’t twist; it remains very supple and behaves - unlike other metallics. The secret is the construction of the metallic making a round thread. When stitched this means they lay beautifully on linen or canvas.
For Needlepoint and embroidery application, you can use Metallic Braid Sizes 4, 8 and 12. We recommend either a Size 22 or 24 Tapestry needle.
