Caroline C. Ferrier Chart

Description

This listing is for a 24 page booklet of the chart for Caroline C Ferrier’s charming sampler.  Caroline stitched her sampler in 1824 when she was 8 years old.  The chart includes instructions, color legend, stitch diagrams and stitch count.  The color legend includes DMC with a conversion to Needlepoint Inc. Silk and 100.3 silk.  If you choose to stitch Caroline on 46 count or higher linen, two colors of Soie Surfine are also listed in order to stitch the over one portion.  The model was stitched on 46 ct. Baby Sheep (Zweigart Bristol Linen) by xJuDesigns using 10.3 silk and Soie Surfine (for over one lettering).  Stitches used include cross stitch over two, cross stitch over one (verse & signature), backstitch, and satin stitch.

Caroline’s sampler is a very well balanced sampler with many natural motifs.    The booklet contains the chart and all instructions needed to stitch Caroline’s Sampler, including stitch diagrams and three enlarged charts.

Stitch count:  288W x 400H

If stitched on 46 ct like the model, the sampler will measure 12.5″ x 17.4″
