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″.
Au Ver À Soie® Soie 100/3, is a three ply highly twisted spun silk. Made in France by the Au Ver a Soie company, whose quality has remained steadfast since 1820.
Use for embroidery, counted thread, canvas work, fine sewing, machine and long-arm quilting
Thread thickness is slightly finer than a single ply of Soie d’Alger.
Glides nicely through linen.
Most linen stitchers prefer to use this on 37, 38, 45 and 53/63 count linens Top and bottom of spool lift for securing thread in place.
4 plies of Soie 100/3 will cover 18 count canvas in tent stitch. Try it for a different looking texture!
Soie 1003 provides sharp, crisp delineation of your stitches for canvas and linen applications. Vary the number of plies for outlining in one shade darker to add depth or raised effect

About the Sampler from Nicola Parkman:
"Sarah Spencer is a very common name in England so we were unable to research our Sarah. You will note the reversed “S” in Sarah. It is not unusual for young children to reverse letters when they read and write but Sarah stitched the letter correctly in her surname. She could have simply got it wrong and did not take the time to correct her mistake. However, that does not tally with the neatness of her stitching and the diligence she showed in completing her sampler. We think it could be her way to record that although her name was spelt with an “S” it is pronounced differently like a soft vibrated “Z”."
