Catharine Van Boskirks 1825 - Reproduction Sampler

Stitch Count: 247 stitches wide by 179 stitches high

Young Catharine Van Boskirks embroidered this American sampler ca. 1825 when she was only 15 years old. The adorable beehives and snowdrops are what drew me to this sampler instantly. It was stitched with silk thread on linen fabric.

It is a one-of-a-kind antique piece and it is beautiful as it is. Since this will be a new addition, I adjusted some of the stitches to fit the current designs. We can leave all the quirkiness in honor of sweet Catharine who made it unique.

The measurements given in the pattern are for 14/28 ct fabric. It also lends itself to Aida cloth as it uses only cross stitches and a few back stitches.

This pattern consists of 16 pages of color and black/white charts.

Thank you and happy stitching!
