This little sampler was inspired by a 220 year old large sampler in our collection that was stitched by Mercy Stainton and is filled with garden motifs—trees, flowers, birds, beehives, and animals of all kinds. Mercy used a variety of stitches in her sampler and we have tried to sprinkle those throughout this adaptation. The model is stitched on 40 count Maple Bar linen by Cedar River Linen using the called-for over-dyed threads. We finished the model as a needle book, but it would look lovely as a pin drum or framed.
