Description
Jane Sumner’s Work
Shakespeare’s Peddler
“I have this lovely original sampler in my collection (see the second picture). It has a definite summery feel to it, and those flowers in the corners are fanciful and fun. This is not a strict reproduction, insofar as I have changed the flower sprigs in the border. Instead of being embroidered (which stitchers tend to get nervous about), I have re-created them in cross stitch. There is NO over-one in this piece (but there is a section of satin stitch below the house and just a few over-one stitches in the line with her name.
Stitch count is 251 by 292. Fabric is 40 count Morning Coffee by Xjudesigns. Threads are Classic Colorworks Barn Door, Tennessee Red Clay, Ye Olde Gold; Sampler Threads Antique Rose, Burlap (4), Flax, Oatmeal, Toasted Barley; Weeks Dye Works Deep Sea, Dirt Road, Oak (2), Pebble, Red Pear, and Red Rocks.
