Jane Atkinson 1780 Cross Stitch Pattern by Scarlet Letter
Jane Atkinson 1780 Cross Stitch Pattern by Scarlet Letter. This needlework was designed after an English sampler in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts-Boston. The lush border flowers are similar to those on a sampler made by Sarah Brignell from around the same period, suggesting the existence of a school or teacher whose “specialty” was opulent floral borders. The border includes elaborately stitched tulips, roses, carnations, daisies and lilies.
- Linen: 40 count
- Finished Size: 14-1/2″ x 23″.
- Stitches: Cross, back, and counted satin.
