Designer: Plum Street Samplers

Note from the designer:
What drew me to this sampler was the oversize, unusual bird (I am always drawn to odd birds on samplers!), as well as the little hunter and his English Springer Spaniel (I have two of my own). Ellen must have been a lively little girl, what with her bright color choices and fun motifs. Her sampler was finished in 1852, when she was just 11 years old. You‘ll notice on the bottom right corner another initial and age, next to some simpler motifs than what are found in the rest of the sampler; the model stitcher (Natalia Canaday) suggested this could have been her little sister‘s contribution to the piece. I love the thought of that.

The model was stitched over two threads on 40 ct. Paperbark by Fox and Rabbit using Weeks Dye Works, Classic Colorworks, and The Gentle Art floss. Stitch count is 263 x 167 and the finished size is 13.15" x 8.35".
