This sampler was made in Scotland
and includes many of the traditional motifs associated with samplermaking in
this region. Firstly, Janet has included many initials of family members.
However the initials at the center- G R 3 -refer to the then-reigning
monarch, King George III. The flowering trees, little black dogs, evergreen
trees, crowns, illuminated letters and a color scheme that is primarily red
and green are all characteristic of Scottish samplers. Stitches used in the
sampler are cross, double running, back and eyelet. On 35 count linen it
will measure approximately 15-1/2" x 14-3/4" when completed, very close to
the size of the original. The project is recommended for any skill level. (nb: The original sampler is pictured, not our stitched reproduction, which will be posted before October 1st, 2008)
