Description
Counted Cross Stitch pattern, Ann Roberts 1842. Ann Roberts was born in the small and ancient seaside town of Nefyn on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, North Wales. Jutting into the Irish Sea from the awe-inspiring majesty of Snowdonia, the Llŷn (pronounced ‘khleen’ and sometimes spelt ‘Lleyn’) is a green finger of raised and rumpled land some 30 miles long and averaging 8 miles wide.

From family history records we know that Ann Roberts was born in 1832. Her mother was also called Ann and was married to a master mariner. They lived at Mountain House, Penbrynglas, Nefyn. In the 1841 census Ann senior was noted as being of independent means with three daughters, Catharine 20, Margaret 12, and Ann the baby of the family aged 9. In the 1851 census Ann senior was listed as a widow.

Our Ann married Captain John Griffiths in the first quarter of 1860. On May 7th the previous year he has qualified as a master mariner. They set up home two doors away from her mother at 2 Bryn Glas, a house that they would occupy for the rest of their lives.

Ann and her captain had four children in 14 years. Ann the only child that survived her parents, Jane who died aged 8, Simon Robert who died aged 21 and Hugh John who died aged 1. Ann died aged 86 on January 16th, 1918.

The sampler is stitched entirely in cross stitch over 2 linen threads and can be worked either on linen or aida. The project has been rated as suitable for needle workers of all levels of ability.

Ann’s delightful sampler has been reproduced with Au Ver à Soie d’Alger silks and the skein quantities calculated based on 1 strand on 36ct fabric. We have provided conversions for DMC based on 2 strands on 36ct linen. The model was stitched on Weeks Zweigart 46ct linen in “straw” with a palette of 15 colours taken from the reverse of the original sampler.
