About the Sampler from Nicola Parkman:
"Harriet tells us that she was 16 years of age when she finished her sampler in the year 1817. Harriet Godhard was born in 1801 and is most likely the Harriet that married William Yeowell on December 10, 1828 in Clewer, Berkshire, England. Harriet’s husband, William, was a Licenced Victualler. He was the landlord of the public house known as “The Sun” (originally the “Rising Sun”) at 24, Windsor Street, Chertsey, Surrey."
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.

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.

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”."
