Jane Vaughan 1724 ~Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Hands Across the Sea Samplers
Hands Across the Sea Samplers are pleased to present to you an early 18th century band sampler that was featured in the 2016 exhibition: “Now Whilst My Hands Are Thus Employed, Three Centuries of Historic Samplers” held at Witney Antiques in England.
Worked in the traditional long, narrow band form of the 17th century, with brightly coloured silks, the original sampler was stitched by Jane when she was just seven years old. This is a remarkable achievement for such a young girl. Every sampler that has survived through the centuries is a wonderful memorial to their young makers. They owe their survival to the past generations that have cherished them and handed them down into our care.
Thread Legend
The sampler has been reproduced with Au Ver à Soie d’Alger silks and the skein quantities calculated based on 1 strand on 36ct fabric. We have provided a DMC conversion based on 2 strands on 36ct fabric. The model was stitched on 40ct Lakeside Linen Vintage Examplar.
