Well, first of all, Happy New Year to you all.. Hope it's a wonderful one. I have completed another part of the Pauline Schwartz sampler and so thought I would put up a pic to update you all on my stitching of it. I was working on the small alphabet and stitching along then came to the 'm' which was after the 'k' missing the 'l'. I looked back on the original of the 1866 sampler and saw that was a mistake that she made way back then in 1866, so I had to follow the mistake even though I would have liked to correct it. I already had noticed in the large letters of the sampler that I already stitched that there is no 'w'. I suppose that was just how it was done back then. It is looking pretty good, and I really like using the one DMC 815 thread as it contrasts nicely with the linen. Happy stitching to all this year!! :)

Always hard to fight the urge to correct the reproduction samplers. But the mistakes are what make them so charming I think. You can really feel you are channeling those ancestral stitchers!
ReplyDeleteLooking very good.
